Tottenham boss Antonio Conte was left fuming after a Harry Kane goal was disallowed against Chelsea.
Kane felt he had given Spurs an advantage in the game, but his goal was ruled out as a result of a push on Blues defender Thiago Silva.
Replays showed Silva going down easily, and Conte was left fuming, as his side eventually lost the game 2-0.
"For sure today was difficult – for injuries – to make the starting XI," Conte said.
"At the same time I'm proud of the performance of my players because we made a big effort.
"In the first half, the referee disallowed a goal and I was very clear with him because I think sometimes it's best to tell the referee in a polite way that to see this type of goal disallowed in England was incredible.
"Maybe in Italy it's 50-50 but in England it was incredible, this. Also it hurt me a lot the yellow card to [Japhet] Tanganga. It can seem a stupid thing. No. A yellow card then conditions the game from the start until the end."
