AVB insists Chelsea did not deserve Arsenal defeat

Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas insists they didn't deserve their 5-3 shock home defeat to Arsenal.

The loss capped the most turbulent week of Villas-Boas tenure, but the Portuguese played down the loss, claiming the scoreline was not representative of his team's performance.

He said: "You have to take two goals out of the situation because one was caused by a slip from our player that left Robin van Persie through on goal, and the other came when we were chasing an equaliser so it's nothing to do with defensive organisation.

"We were punished by an unlucky situation. Luck didn't want anything with us today."
