Avram Grant spoke of his disappointment after watching Chelsea fail to retain the Carling Cup after the 2-1 defeat to Tottenham on Sunday afternoon.
"I think even in the second half Tottenham were not in the game and that we were the better side," Grant told Sky Sports. "The penalty put them back in the game and that turned the match.
“The second goal was from a set piece so we are disappointed. I did not think it was a penalty. Wayne Bridge could not keep his hand behind his back when he was challenging for the ball.
“You saw it was not the referee who gave it but the linesman. It was always going to be close because cup finals are like this and it was not a great performance from both teams. We tried to score a goal and keep it tight but we lost.''
