Furious Scolari wants ref apology
Tuesday, 2 December 2008
Chelsea boss Luiz Felipe Scolari has demanded an apology from the match officials over Robin van Persie's first goal in the 2-1 defeat by Arsenal, BBC reports.
The Dutch striker's first of two goals appeared to be offside but the goal was allowed to stand by referee Mike Dean.
Scolari said: "I want only after tomorrow that he (Dean) looks at the TV and the referee and the linesman see they are wrong and they say sorry.
"That is all I want, no more, because they were not good and made a mistake."
Television replays appeared to show Van Persie in an offside position after Denilson had played him in on the edge of the penalty area.
