Ukraine boss Oleg Blokhin blasts the performance of referee Viktor Kassai during his side's 1-0 defeat to England.

Ukraine boss Oleg Blokhin has expressed his disappointment with the standard of officiating during his side's 1-0 defeat to England last night.

Referee Viktor Kassai failed to award Ukraine an equaliser in the 60th minute when Marko Devic's shot was cleared away by John Terry after the ball had narrowly crossed the goalline.

An angry Blokhin said: "There are five referees on the pitch and the ball is 50 centimetres behind the goal-line.

"Why do we need five referees if [Andy] Carroll plays with his elbows or [John] Terry fouls from behind?"

Ukraine finished third in Group D.
