helsea defender Gary Cahill has stated that referee Mark Clattenburg's show during the Premier League match against Manchester United did not throw the team off their rhythm.

A few days later, Roberto Di Matteo's men got their revenge in the English Cup match, defeating the visitors from Manchester 5-4 after extra time.

"The most important thing for footballers is not to be disturbed while playing. We need to prevent external factors from influencing us.

"I have never been so disappointed and angry after Clattenburg's performance in a championship match, but we were able to redirect our energy properly in the cup match and achieve revenge," said the defender.
