Chelsea interim boss Roberto Di Matteo claimed there was no doubt referee Mark Clattenburg had made the right decision in awarding Chelsea a penalty in the first half against Fulham tonight:
The Chelsea boss told Sky Sports 1:
“There was a touch from Kelly on him and it was a penalty.”
The draw meant the Blues failed to fully capitalise on Tottenham’s slip-up in the race to finish in the top four – Spurs earlier lost 2-1 at home to Norwich while Newcastle’s push gathered pace with a 2-0 home win over Bolton.
“I thought we were quite in control of the game, to be honest, and maybe we didn’t pose them a threat enough for the second goal,” Di Matteo said.
“But we were always in the leading position and I think the only way they could have scored really was from a set-play, unfortunately for us.”
He added: “But we’re still in there, hanging in there. We knew Craven Cottage is a difficult place to come. We’re getting closer to the teams ahead of us.”

Yet another missed opportunity Chelsea seemed to have no tactic and were passing like school kids in the playground.
And to top it all off Cech done his usual and just gave the ball back to Fulham at least 15 times by doing those stupid long kicks that never reach anyone .
Giving possession away so easy is bad enough V Fulham but v the upcoming Barcelona game we will get raped.
