Hearts coach blames Chelsea defeat on poor officiating

Accra Hearts of Oak coach Frank Nuttall has blamed his side's lone goal defeat to Berekum Chelsea last Sunday on poor officiating. The Phobians were handed another defeat at the hands of Chelsea at the Berekum Golden City Park last Sunday. The Scottish trainer however urged the Ghana Football Association (GFA) to watch the videos of their game with Chelsea. “One of the main factors of our defeat was officiating and I know if the Ghana Football authorities watch the videos of this game they would be very disappointed" Coach Nuttall told reporters in his post-match conference. “I would like the authorities to look at the video. It is very clear that the referee’s poor performance affected the result of day. “I think we could have won the game today, but I think there were some decisions the referee took that affected us a lot in this game. “We know it is a work in progress for Hearts of Oak and we are going to get better with time, we could have had a better result in this game, but it’s unfortunate for us. We want to improve and we would keep working towards that," he added.
