Chelsea slumped to a 2-1 defeat against Sunderland in the Capital One Cup and Jose Mourinho was denied an opportunity to lift the trophy for the third time as Chelsea manager.
A late Borini strike in the 2nd half drew Sunderland level as Chelsea looked destine for victory and a late Ki strike in extra time gave Sunderland a precious victory as the match looked destined for penalties.
Jose Mourinho had the following to say after the defeat: 'One team played, one team produced, but one team missed chances. Every game we lose is the same story.'
"The Special One" suggested that a more defensive approach could solve Chelsea's problem, but he doesn't want to go that route: 'Maybe the solution is to concede less goals, to be more defensive, but this is not what I want.'
While Jose was frustrated with the result, he didn't condemn his players for loss: 'I don't blame the players because the attitude was good and the approach was good and they went out and played.'
Mourinho singled out Willian's performance as most notable while admitting his side is wasting valuable chances: 'Willian was again fantastic in a crucial position & we created chances, but if you don't score it keeps the opponent alive.'
The Chelsea manager feels that had Chelsea taken their chances, the situation would be avoided: 'In this moment we need to score goals - it is the only thing we need. If we score, we are there.'
