Chelsea's Scolari keen to put Man Utd loss to bed

Chelsea boss Luiz Felipe Scolari was unhappy with his sides performance when they lost 3-0 to Manchester United but has said the players will look forward to redeeming themselves.

He also commented on the second goal scored by Wayne Rooney, believing it was a foul and should not have been allowed to stand.

"We conceded a goal that changed the game because after this goal they played more free," he said of the Nemanja Vidic opener on the club's official website.

"We tried to put more players in front and gave them the space they wanted to play.

"They were better than us in that time but scored one more goal by foul," he added in regards to the Rooney goal.

"It is one more mistake (from a ref) and in that time, sure, 45 minutes they played very well, better than us.

"Now is the time for me and the players to be thinking about the future. We lose everything, or we are men and we regroup. This is the time, it is only this way. The second way is dead."
