London's "Chelsea" fans had to come to terms with a feeling that rarely visits them this season - defeat.
The "Blues" club, marching firmly in the leader's position, suffered an unexpected defeat yesterday in the 30th round of the English Premier League against "Crystal Palace". Cesc Fabregas quickly put the hosts ahead with a goal, but the visitors responded with two accurate strikes in a few minutes and clinched a victory with a score of 2-1.
"Chelsea's" head coach Antonio Conte understands that sometimes in football you get similar lessons, but the team does not rush to blame and insists that they deserve at least a draw.
"I think we deserved at least a draw. We created a lot of chances," - said the Italian at a press conference. - "But that's football and we have to accept this result."
"We scored in the 5th minute, but soon after we conceded two quick goals. When you concede two goals in such a short time, you understand that there is room for improvement and it needs to be fixed.
In England, every match is unpredictable. This league is very strong, and today we clashed with a really strong team that showed character," - A. Conte said after the match.
"Chelsea" reduced the advantage of the second-placed "Tottenham" to seven points after the defeat.
