Chelsea won this seasons FA Cup after a 2-1 win over Liverpool at Wembley on Saturday evening. Ramires put the Blues ahead early on before Didier Drogba scored his eight goal in 8 appearances at Wembley to make it 2-0. Sub Andy Carroll then halved the deficit before the striker looked to have equalised with a far post header. However, the goal wasn’t given as the referee and his linesman claimed it didn’t cross the line as Cech made a superb save to deny the Liverpool man. Watch the goal below and judge for yourself; was the ball over the line? You can then watch full highlights from the match underneath.

Time and time again the REFF buggers up a good game Cech wrist and hand was bent so it should have been given a goal and plus the force of the ball would have pushed his hand back even more so it was a goal plain and simple

    Why on earth do Chelsea fans keep going on about this decision? The correct decison should have been a penalty and the goalkeeper sent off – same result in the end as it turns out but softer on Chelsea at the time!

As my own point of view the ball is not a goal. Because if the ball cross the line know how peter cech we push the ball out like that.

It’s like some people are watching d beautiful game of football with sentiment…a goal is when the whole circumference of the ball crosses the line and that andy Carroll header didn’t obey that law.

  Okay I’m a Liverpool fan, but yeah on replay it wasn’t fully across, I think, still not 100% sure though. Why no goal line technology because this decision was lucky? A split second decision could have gone the other way. Goal line cams would sort it out in secs, no errors like in the other Chelsea game.
