Conte not happy with Giroud’s goal against Chelsea in 3-1 win

Chelsea manager, Antonio Conte, has expressed his displeasure after his side allowed Olivier Giroud score a consolation goal in their 3-1 win in their Premier League clash on Saturday

The Blues were well on their way to three points, thanks to a three-goal lead courtesy of Marcos Alonso, Eden Hazard and Cesc Fabregas, before Giroud pulled one back in the 90th minute through a header.

Although Conte was pleased with the three points, he called on his team to improve their concentration throughout the game.

“I’m pleased for our win but disappointed by the goal we conceded,” he said.

“It’s a pity. It’s so important to improve and keep the concentration in the right way from the start until the end. We conceded some chances to Arsenal – but we also created our own chances.”

Conte also said his players deserve all the recognition they are getting.

“It was a good game – it wasn’t easy,” Conte added.

“Arsenal are a good team with technical players. We played with good intensity and organisation – both offensively and defensively. I’m pleased for all my players – they deserve it because in training I see great attitude.”
