Brentford boss Uwe Rosler felt Chelsea's 4-0 win in Sunday's FA Cup fourth round replay was a harsh result for his side.

Rosler had no complaint either when Marcello Trotta had an effort ruled out after 39 minutes, referee having already blown for a Luiz foul on Adam Forshaw. Commenting on the decisions made by referee Neil Swarbrick, Rosler added: "Overall I would not complain about the referee. For me, the referee has not decided the game today, but with a little bit more fortune, we could've had the lead. That is what you need in games like that. "Rafa paid my players a lot of respect in putting out a very strong team. I didn't expect it. "We had very good shape. At periods Chelsea were running out of ideas. "The scoreline doesn't really reflect the game over big parts. "We got too loose, too early. They punished us."
