Chelsea lost 1-0 away at Middlesborough Stadium. The home side scored in the 38th minute just before half time. The Blues had their chance in the first half when Cole Palmer snatched the ball from his opponent then had three opponents block him making him miss the target.
We can understand that fans will be disappointed with that but we still have 90 minutes to play Mauricio Pochettino told Sky Sports after the game.
Today the method is good. We made some mistakes in the first half and gave them a chance to score. They are really tough have a tough block and play on fast transitions.
We are punished for our mistakes. In football it must be frustrating because if we evaluate the results we are a better team. But we did not score our goal and there was a change.
The second leg will take place at Bridge on January 23.
