Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has complained about the decision to add on eight minutes of injury time following his side's 4-3 defeat to Chelsea on Thursday night.
Fans at Stamford Bridge were treated to a classic, with both sides brimming with attacking threat throughout the contest.

The Red Devils were winning 3-2 prior to the eight minutes of injury time being added on.
But Palmer struck twice to clinch a hat-trick and give Chelsea a dramatic victory in the process.
After the game, Ten Hag looked visibly frustrated with United's hopes of playing in the Champions League next season all but over.
And the United boss has criticised the decision to add on eight minutes following the battle in the capital.
"I don't know where they got the eight minutes. I don't know where they came from," fumed the Dutchman.
"But in the last minutes of the game, we as a team have to manage the game better."
Ten Hag also complained about how United started the match, while ruing their late collapse.
"We started poor by giving the ball away, defending poorly on the first two occasions," he stated.
"But by that moment already, you saw we were dominating the game and we returned in the game.
"It was brilliant how we played and we deserved to win this game. But you can't give it away like we did."
He added: "It's a team performance and of course you can point to one of the players.
"But it's not about that. It's about team performance.
"As I said, as a team, in such moments, when it gets chaotic, you have to deal with such circumstances as a team and we didn't.
"We made the wrong decisions and we didn't help each other in possession as well.
"[We should have been] keeping the ball, going from one side to the other side, or at least pass and move. In and out of possession, we made bad decisions."

“It was amazing,” he said. “We were the better team today and it was fair we scored in the last minute.
“We started really well, 2-0 (up), the game was under control, then we made a mistake and suffered an emotional impact.
"It wasn’t easy to deal with. In the second half we controlled the game (but) conceded in transitions.
“It was important to finish like that, creating the connection between our fans and players. It’s a very good thing that happened today.
"It should be a turning point for the fans’ trust in the team.”
