Mauricio Pochettino explains why Chelsea lost Carabao Cup final
A rueful Mauricio Pochettino fretted over Chelsea's squandered opportunities after a «painful» defeat to Liverpool in Sunday's Carabao Cup final.
The Blues carved open five of what define as 'big chances' — i.e. «a situation where a player should reasonably be expected to score» — but were thwarted by Liverpool's second-choice goalkeeper, Caoimhin Kelleher when they didn't miss the target. Pochettino counted even more.
«We created four, five, six big chances and we didn't score,» the visibly deflated coach sighed when speaking to after losing Sunday's final to Virgil van Dijk's last-gasp header. «In a game like today and in a final to score first, it is a big advantage.
»We didn't score and that is a bit of a problem. We conceded in the last minute and it is difficult to react."
LIVERPOOL WIN THE CARABAO CUP.
