Gareth Taylor was furious with the refereeing decisions towards the end of Manchester City\u2019s 1-0 semi-final defeat to Chelsea.<\/p>\n
Lauren James\u2019 first-half strike sent the Blues to their fifth Conti Cup final in a row final and set up a mouth-watering clash with London rivals Arsenal.<\/p>\n
However, Alex Greenwood appeared to be fouled in the box right at the end of the game at the Joie Stadium and City boss Taylor is adamant it should have been a penalty.<\/p>\n
The 51-year-old told the BBC: \u201cI just don\u2019t understand sometimes these decisions that go against us.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s a blatant penalty on Alex Greenwood.\u201d<\/p>\n
Taylor also explained how disappointed he was with the lack of added time awarded by the officials.<\/p>\n
\u201cHere earlier in the season it was 11 minutes and went to 13.<\/mark><\/p>\n
\u201cWhen we went down there [Chelsea] it was nine minutes and goes to 12.<\/mark><\/p>\n
\u201cI mean come on, that\u2019s not five minutes there of time when Hannah Hampton is choking the clock up.\u201d<\/mark><\/p>\n
But despite losing the game, Taylor was still thrilled with his side\u2019s performance as they dominated possession and recorded 10 shots on target.<\/p>\n
The City boss said: \u201cWe were magnificent tonight. I thought Hampton was their best player and that told a story.<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course we needed to score a goal but their goalkeeper had to make many saves in the second half.\u201d<\/mark><\/p>\n
Manchester City are having a fine season in the Women\u2019s Super League and are level on points with Chelsea at the summit.<\/p>\n
Taylor was asked whether the loss against their title rivals will have an impact physiologically.<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n
He responded: \u201cNo, because it was full of positives. Why would we dwell on it?<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is so much to take from this game. For us it\u2019s using this game as a benchmark.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe always knew it was going to be tight margins. When two good teams come together, it\u2019s always going to be fairly tight.\u201dLiveScore: Live Sport Updates<\/p>\n
