Chelsea advanced to the fourth round of the FA Cup on Wednesday night but finished the game with nine men after Alvaro Morata and Pedro were sent off.
The Blues beat Norwich on penalties in their FA Cup third round replay after dispatching all of their five penalties.
However, the match will be remembered for Pedro and Morata being sent to the changing rooms for simulation.
Pedro was booked for simulation in the second half and received his marching orders deep into extra-time for a foul.
Morata came on as a substitute in the 81st minute and his night was over in the 120th minute after he was also cautioned for diving before immediately being shown a second yellow for dissent towards the referee.
Antonio Conte was upset at the Spanish pair who will subsequently miss the Premier League tie against Brighton as their one game suspensions do count in the Premier League, despite them coming from an FA Cup tie.
Conte was furious following the game and insists that he doesn’t want his players cheating to win.
‘I don’t know (why they dived),’ he said.
‘I don’t want an advantage. If there was a diving then it is right to give a yellow card, I don’t want the advantage, especially if there is this system.
‘If it was not a penalty it was right to give a yellow card.’
He urged his players to stay calm in the future to avoid picking up needless bookings.
He continurd: ‘For sure I think I am not happy for the second yellow card to Morata.
‘The first was for a doubtful situation, but the second was for dissent.
‘You must pay great attention because in this moment in the game you have to stay calm.’
Chelsea travel to Brighton on Saturday for the 12.30 early kick-off in the Premier League.
