Chelsea boss Antonio Conte keen to see the use of VAR in games after Alvaro Morata’s goal was ruled out for offside in Manchester United defeat.
I think the draw was the fair result for this game. But we are talking about a defeat and that’s all.’
It was a loss that left Chelsea out of the four Champions League places following Tottenham’s win earlier on at Crystal Palace.
‘We know there is a battle and it will be difficult to find a place in the Champions League,’ Conte said.
‘I must be honest, I didn’t see the situation, but if you’re telling me Alvaro Morata wasn’t offside, I think VAR is very important, especially in England,’ he said.
‘There are a lot of moments in the game where there are things to super-check.
‘We had to be more clinical, instead we kept the game open, and the opponent made us pay.
‘Manchester United are a great team, and we must be disappointed, because I repeat today, we could have done better.’
Chelsea are now two points behind fourth-placed Spurs and face a difficult next fixture away to leaders Manchester City.
