Brown says he was fouled by Didier Drogba and the Blues’ winning goal should not have stood.
“I don’t think the referee played well and we’ve been let down by that goal,” Brown told MUTV. “The decision to award the free-kick was harsh.
“Then Drogba was holding me and pulling me down, obstructing me from challenging for the ball when the free-kick came in the box. The ref didn’t see that either – what can we do about it?”
He added: “It’s very hard to take, we played really well.
“I thought we played really well as a team and passed the ball brilliantly. We were the better team and had more chances.
“We should have done better with our chances, but we definitely didn’t deserve this result and it’s tough because we go home with no points.”
