Chelsea's Thibaut Courtois: Ref should have seen Sanchez's 'volleyball block'

This is a modal window.

Thibaut Courtois laments the decision to allow Arsenal's opener, where he feels Ramsey clearly interfered.

Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has revealed that FA Cup final referee Anthony Taylor visited the club earlier in the season to explain the handball rule as he lamented the official's failure to spot Alexis Sanchez' "volleyball block."

Arsenal beat Chelsea 2-1 at Wembley on Saturday, with Sanchez opening the scoring on four minutes. The goal was awarded after discussions between Taylor and his assistant, who appeared to be considering whether Aaron Ramsey -- standing in an offside position -- had been interfering with play.
