Petr Cech says that he is "100 percent certain" that Andy Carroll's header did not cross the line.

Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech has insisted that Andy Carroll's header did not cross the line.

The £35m striker thought he had equalised at Wembley only for the linesman not to give the goal.

Cech said that he is "100 percent" certain that he prevented the ball from crossing the line.

"I don't think it was over the line," said Cech. "If the ball was behind the line I couldn't have kept it out.

"I'm 100 percent sure it was not in, and I felt that from the first moment."

Chelsea went on to pick up their fourth FA Cup trophy in six years and seventh in total.
