Grant blast over Cashley

Grant blast over Cashley

Avram Grant has expressed his disappointment with the FA over their refusal to reverse the decision of an appeal over Ashley Cole's handball on the line against Aston Villa in the 4-4 draw.

  • Arsenal to swap Gabriel Jesus for Inter Milan star?
  • Arsenal leading race to sign Belgian midfielder

  • Grant said: "The referee and his assistant should be honest. He saved the ball with his head, not his hand.



    "The referee said that Ashley saved it with his hand, but the television shows he saved it with his head.



    "Now they're saying head to chest and maybe touching his hand. So is it an anatomy lesson now? I listened to everybody and they're saying it has maybe gone from his head to his chest.



    "It's like an animal, this ball. No. It was clear that he saved it with his head.



    "I expected them to say they're sorry, they were wrong. And I'm waiting for the first mistake that will help us, too.



    "We will have to think about bothering to appeal in future, if we appeal and it's for nothing."
