Blackburn Rovers were unlucky to come out of the game with Chelsea with no points to show for their efforts; Carlo Ancelotti acknowledged this when he spoke after the game.
'Blackburn played a good game in the first half, they put strong pressure on and we were not able to play our football or find space in the middle of the pitch,' he said.
'We had difficulty first half, second half was better, we took a risk with counter-attack because Blackburn could score before our goal, we were a little bit lucky. The game was difficult but the second half was better.'
'We knew that here was difficult to win, every team has difficulty here, Blackburn at home is a very good team, they use a lot strength and ability on the long balls. For this reason it is important to win here, we maintain the top and we are in good condition and confidence will improve with this victory.'
