Joao Pedro is wrong about Chelsea’s actions in 1-1 draw with Burnley | OneFootball

Joao Pedro kept up his hot form for Chelsea with an early goal against Burnley yesterday, but he and the team weren’t able to build on that start.

Chelsea took the lead within five minutes against Leeds last night, and at that moment everything looked great.

However they weren’t able to keep up that attacking momentum, and when things turned against them in the second half, they didn’t have the second goal they desperately needed. Joao Pedro, who got the Blues’ goal, talked to the club’s official website about his frustration.

“We are very frustrated with the result, and especially because we did exactly the same in the last [Premier League] game [against Leeds],” the Brazilian said, referring back to last Tuesday’s 2-2 draw.

“We did enough to win the game, but we couldn’t find the second goal that we needed. We need to find solutions in these types of games, because we need to earn points in the Premier League.

“We need to win these types of games, and we are just very frustrated that we weren’t able to see the game out [from a winning position].”

We would argue that we actually didn’t do enough to win the game. We scored one and then didn’t create nearly enough chances to score the second. There was not enough attacking intent at 1-0, and we paid the price.

Wesley Fofana was went off after 72 minutes yesterday, and the game changed in that moment. But Rosenior insisted that the draw wasn’t down to him. He had something else to blame.

Chelsea drew because of a missed assignment at a late set piece – and Rosenior knows who was at fault.
