Chelsea manager, Antonio Conte, has leapt to the defence of Victor Moses, after the wingback was sent off for diving in Saturday’s FA Cup final against Arsenal.
Conte says the Super Eagles star was tired.
Moses was booked by referee Anthony Taylor in the second half for a foul on Danny Welbeck, before he picked up his second yellow card for simulation in the box.
“Honestly, I did not see the situation. I do not know for sure, but there is a lot of attention on this moment. Sometimes I think it could be tiredness,” Conte said.
“We are at the end of the season and a lot of players are tired and then there is a lot of pressure. For sure, it is not a good situation to dive, it is true.
“But Moses is an honest player and, if there was this situation, he was tired and he did not want to cheat the referee.”
