Big Phil fumed: “Never before at Chelsea have I said
anything about the referee. “But today is different. I don’t want
the referee to do something different, only for him to look at the
TV, see he was wrong and say sorry.
“Tell the assessor to ask the referee to do both sides,
not one side. “They scored a goal that was one metre ahead of our
player, then the same linesman gave a decision against Kalou that
was never offside.
“They made a mistake. They’re not bad, I understand
that. I don’t want three points, I just want ‘sorry’ because they
made a mistake. “In the first half they make the same mistake again
when Deco passed to Kalou who was onside and was called
offside.
“In the second half, another big mistake against us.
It’s difficult to play and, after this, my team lost their
concentration and didn’t play well. “I want to hear some words from
the referee and for him to say that it was offside.
“Offside killed my team. But, if it’s possible to
understand, if we had won we would now be 13 points ahead of them
and the title would be finished for them.”
Arsenal’s shock victory means a win for Liverpool
against West Ham at Anfield this evening will put Rafa Benitez’s
side three points clear at the top of the Premier League.
Gunners boss Arsene Wenger claimed the result keeps his
side in the title hunt and praised former skipper William Gallas
for the way he has responded to the problems of the last two
weeks.
Wenger said: “William was outstanding today, absolutely
amazing. He came out of that period with a lot of credit because
his commitment is fantastic.
“I believe the win gives us the belief that we can come
back.What kind of impact it can have on Chelsea, I do not
know.”
