Chelsea boss Antonio Conte says VAR would've been helpful in defeat to Manchester United.

Alvaro Morata had a late equaliser denied by an offside flag in the 2-1 loss.

Conte said, "This type of situation can change the final result. For this reason, I am very positive about introducing VAR, especially in England. We need to have this new system to help the referee and avoid big mistakes."

It was Morata's first start since the draw with Leicester six weeks ago.

"He played for 90 minutes. Like the other players, he tried to give everything for the team. For sure he can improve a lot.

"I go game by game. Today it was the best decision for the team. It's very important for us to have balance offensively and defensively this season. If we think only to attack and not defend, we risk every time conceding a goal and losing the game."
