Chelsea midfielder Chukwuemeka: I thought I had scored the equaliser

Chelsea midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka admitted frustration after defeat at home to Manchester City.

Chukwuemeka saw an equaliser denied by the post late on.

He said after the 1-0 defeat: “My heart skipped as I took the shot [which hit the post]. I thought it was in but obviously it was not meant to be today.

“We worked really hard out of possession and limited their chances and caused them some problems so I think we did have the better first half but we couldn't find a goal.

“I feel like because of how young I am, I don't have anything to lose I can just express myself and I think that's the same with the others. It's a big opportunity to build on and try and break into the team because of the injuries."
