Few could argue we deserved some reward after dominating for long periods at Wembley, racking up 18 shots to Chelsea’s nine and 67.5% possession.
However, Marcos Alonso found the top corner from a 25-yard free-kick on 24 minutes to hand Chelsea the lead against the run of play in the first half and after we’d finally scored a deserved equaliser on 82 minutes - substitute Michy Batshuay heading Christian Eriksen’s free-kick into his own net - Alonso struck again with two minutes left.
“I’m very disappointed but at the same time, happy, because the performance was good,” said Mauricio.
