Slav explains Chelsea defeat

Honest Slaven Bilic made it clear Chelsea were “better than us” but remained bitterly disappointed at seeing a point slip away so late.

The manager – talking after the game – said: “When you concede so late it’s always disappointing. They were much better on the ball, pressed and were more aggresive  than us.

We were okay for the first 15 minutes and we controlled things when we went to 1-1 so that’s why it was so frustrating to lose a soft goal at the end!”

He explained that the  club won’t know the situation on Andre Ayew’s injury until he has been scanned in the morning but insisted he won’t be rushing into the transfer market.

Andrew went down in the 32nd minute holding his thingh and the manager said:  “You don’t do that on the strength of what may be just a small injury!
