Chelsea head coach Antonio Conte is sure that in the final of the FA Cup the goal of the forward of Arsenal Alexis Sanchez should not be counted.
In the FA Cup final Arsenal came forward already in the 4th minute. Initially, the goal of Alexis Sanchez was canceled by the linesman because of offside, but the chief referee of the meeting Anthony Taylor made a different decision. In addition, there is a suspicion that during the scoring attack Alexis played with his hand.
Antonio Conte admits that an important role in the defeat of 1: 2 was played not the best start of the match in the performance of his team, but still believes that Sanchez's goal could not be read.
"I think that we did not start well enough, here you can not argue. Arsenal at first was better than us. But the goal after 3 minutes of the game could not be counted, because there was a hand play. A real handball. This is absolutely clear and I do not understand why the referee whistle was silent, "said Comte.
"Such things happen. Players make mistakes, the referees are wrong ... But at the end of the season there were a lot of errors of the referees not in favor of Chelsea. MJ and Bournemouth played hand in fights against us, and then scored - we were not lucky ".
The match against Arsenal was the second final of the national cup for Antonio Conte and ended with the second defeat of the Italian in such matches. Previously, his Juventus lost Napoli 0-2 in the final Coppa Italy.
