Arsenal's Arshavin: Chelsea deserved FA Cup win

Arsenal midfielder Andrey Arshavin had no complaints after Chelsea's FA Cup semifinal victory.

"In the first half, I think the result was fair," said the 27-year-old. "In the second half, Chelsea had more of the possession, more of the game was taking place in our half, although we tried to organise quick counter-attacks.

"Unfortunately, we conceded and had little time to really put pressure on (Petr) Cech's goal. Our opponents didn't give us opportunities to create something.

"We are disappointed that our fans left the stadium deflated. That's football, you lose sometimes.

"I guess you can't win everything. Now we have to concentrate our efforts on the Champions League and the Premier League."
