Hull City manager Marco Silva admits he was not pleased by his side's 2-0 defeat at Chelsea on Sunday.

The Tigers were beaten by the Premier League leaders at Stamford Bridge following goals either side of the break from Diego Costa and Gary Cahill.

While it was an expected result, Silva has shown his intentions by speaking of just how competitive he wants his side to be, even against the premiership favourites.

"The result is not what we want," he told hullcitytigers.com.

"We came here to compete and try to take points, Chelsea are in a very good moment but we tried, and we controlled the game in some moments.

"Chelsea had more possession and more offensive football but when you concede a goal in the last minute of the first half, it's cheap, because if you come in at half-time and change situations, maybe the performance is different.

"It was a good reaction in the second half, with one or two chances to change the score. A good performance, but I want more.

"We made some mistakes today, you do that, but we need to continue our work to change some things at the club.

"I am happy with our performance, but not the result. I want more and I am sure we will improve in next week."

The result has Hull sitting 19th on the table with 16 points from 22 matches.
