Juan Mata admits Chelsea boss AVB blew top after Man Utd fight-back

Juan Mata admits Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas blew his top after they blew their 3-0 lead against Manchester United.

United staged a stirring late comeback and Mata, who's stunning volley had put Chelsea 2-0 up, revealed his disappointment and Villas-Boas' fury after the game.

The Spaniard told The Sun: "I'd have preferred to win and not score.

"The coach was furious after the match. And also the players because in a match like this you'd never think we could waste a three-goal home advantage.

"How many times will Chelsea be in with a chance to defeat United, winning 3-0 after 50 minutes? I never believed they could pull level. It was bad news for us and confirmed the race for fourth place will not be easy."
