Chelsea keeper Cech still upset over Liverpool winner

Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech is still upset with the manner of Liverpool's winner on Sunday.

Cech explained he was distracted by the run of Liverpool's Dirk Kuyt in the lead-up to Meireles' strike but took full responsibility for the goal.

"I thought Kuyt would get to the cross at the near post," the 28-year-old told iDNES after Chelsea's seventh loss of the season.

"I wanted to get out so that I could react but he missed the ball, which flew past very fast and at the other post I had no chance then. It was clearly my mistake. I was there later than I should have been.

"I made a clear error, there is nothing more you can say about it."
