Chelsea striker Salomon Kalou missed a golden opportunity to equalize in the second half when he failed to convert a clever pass of Lampard. Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti was frustrated with his team defeat and said “the most difficult thing for us was we conceded the goal after five minutes. It wasn’t the right way to start the game, we wanted to start the game differently, but we conceded a goal from a little detail, I think we could have done better, and after that the game was very difficult.”
