Alberti Sambi Lokonga insists Arsenal didn't deserve defeat to Chelsea yesterday.

Joe Willock had a late equaliser denied after his shot hit the underside of the crossbar and deemed not to cross the Chelsea goalline.

However, Lokonga told arsenal.com: "Yes, I shouted to the referee because for me the ball was inside, but he said to me he was not so sure so he didn't give the goal.

"If I have to speak about the team, we had a really good performance but we gave away the ball and then they scored. But yeah for the next time we have to be careful because I think this kind of goal we can avoid."

Lokonga was referring to Hector Bellerin's loose pass which led to Tammy Abraham's winner on the day.
