Every word Mauricio Pochettino said on Chelsea loss, penalty controversy, Cole Palmer fitness

Mauricio Pochettino cut a frustrated figure after Chelsea's heartbreaking FA Cup semi-final defeat to Manchester City.

The Blues were beaten once again at Wembley Stadium thanks to an 84th minute goal from Bernardo Silva. A host of missed chances left Chelsea highly frustrated at the national stadium and they had a massive appeal for a penalty in the second-half.

Jack Grealish saw the ball strike his arm inside the box but referee Michael Oliver waved away appeals. The VAR briefly checked but the decision of no penalty remained.

Now is the time to finish the season in the best way and then to speak about how we can be better next season.”
