Chelsea: Antonio Conte's Comments After Losing FA Cup to Arsenal

Chelsea on Saturday were defeated by Arsenal by 2 goals to one at the Wembley stadium in the final of the FA Cup.


Speaking after the game, Chelsea Manager Antonio Conte said:

"I think the first goal was very strange. The first half we didn't start well, we didn't have the right approach and we suffered in first 25 minutes.

"We started to play better in the second half and the red card was decisive.

"I didn't see the incident on the TV and it was difficult to understand.

"The first goal, the player had his hands attached to the ball with two hands. Offside or not is not important.




"Arsenal started very well with great determination. They surprised us a bit but I repeat our first 25 minutes weren't good.

"At our best moment, the referee decided to give the red card.

"There is dissapointment for the final result but it can happen and there was a lot of pressure. Victor Moses has been good and played an important season.

"Our season was incredible to win the league in this way, it was great but now its important to look forward and to restart".
