Slav’s verdict

“

No excuses just an honest appraisal from Slav at the end as he declared: “They deserved to beat us.”

And he added: “It’s very simple. If you want to beat Chelsea then you have to hope for their mistakes and use them. If it’s the other way around and you make mistakes, they use them straight away and it’s very hard. I’m disappointed.

“We were on top. We started well and created problems down the left but didn’t have enough bodies in the box. Then we made a cheap mistake in a position where you can’t lose the ball.

“After that I am happy with the first half. Second half again, a cheap goal. To be fair, all of their counter attacks looked dangerous.”
