Antonio Conte wants to appeal against John Terry's red card in Chelsea's 4-1 FA Cup win over Peterborough, believing it was 'very clear' his captain should not have been dismissed.
Terry, making his first start since the League Cup defeat by West Ham in October, clumsily fouled Lee Angol as the striker raced towards goal and was shown a straight red by referee Kevin Friend.
Conte claimed Terry was not the last man because Branislav Ivanovic would have provided cover.
Terry posted on Instagram: 'What a great feeling being back on the pitch today, albeit only for 67 mins after my red card which I will be appealing.
'I hope the FA and the ref will look at it and realise I didn't touch @leeangol. Great win for the boys and into the next round of the FA Cup.'
Terry's manager defended his man, as Conte said: 'I think it wasn't the right decision by the referee. He did not take the opponent and also - the second reason - behind John was Ivanovic to cover John.
