Antonio Conte praises Chelsea's effort throughout the season, but says they need to add more quality.

LONDON -- Antonio Conte defended Victor Moses as "an honest player" who would not try to cheat a referee after the Nigeria international was shown a second yellow card for diving in Chelsea's 2-1 defeat against Arsenal in Saturday's FA Cup final at Wembley.

Moses was sent off in the 68th minute by referee Anthony Taylor for falling to the floor under no contact in the Arsenal penalty area, having been booked earlier in the second half for a foul on Danny Welbeck.
