Crystal Palace manager Patrick Vieira has unexpectedly hit out at referee Peter Bankes after his side lost to Chelsea 1-0.
"I was happy with what we showed today but the other side is frustration because of a performance like that we should have taken something from the game," Vieira said as quoted by BBC.
"I was really frustrated with the referee. When you play a football match you expect to be treated with respect and you expect to be treated the same way as the opposition team and today I think the referee was not at his best. A lot of important decisions went against us and I will defend the football club because I want the club to have more respect than we had today."
Vieira did not specify what were those moments when the referee helped Chelsea - which is a shame given that we struggle to remember any.
Ironically, Palace were probably lucky to finish the game with 11 players as Cheick Doucoure somehow avoided a second yellow for a foul on Conor Gallagher.
