Roberto Di Matteo feels Chelsea still face a battle to qualify for the knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League despite a 4-0 win at Nordsjaelland.
Stupid
Nordsjaelland boss Kasper Hjulmand thought the scoreline was harsh on his team but acknowledged that the visitors' superior finishing highlighted the difference in quality.
"It looks stupid on the board, 4-0," he said.
"Actually I think we played a tight game for 75 minutes and then we collapsed with the second goal.
"We'd just had a good opportunity and were playing well, creating chances, but we didn't do well in the last 15 minutes.
"Physically, we're still lacking some fitness. When you play in the Premier League compared to the Danish league, it's difficult.
"That's one part of it. The other is, of course, we didn't score. Goals change games and we needed a goal.
"Chelsea did better than us in the last third of the pitch, and have quality players who put the chances away."
