Chelsea boss feels luck was against his side at United
Andre Villas-Boas felt Chelsea were on the end of a 'crazy scoreline' after losing 3-1 at Premier League champions Manchester United.
First-half goals from Chris Smalling, Nani and Wayne Rooney on the face of it had United in command, but Chelsea created numerous opportunities throughout the game.
Fernando Torres missed a good chance in the first half before scoring inside the opening minute of the second half, only to then side-foot wide in front of an open goal with seven minutes to go.
Ramires also wasted a golden opportunity for the Blues in the first period and visiting manager Villas-Boas was left puzzled by the final score.
Strange game
"It was a strange game, very, very open and a lot of opportunities for both teams." he told
Sky Sports 1.
"If luck could play a better part for our side today, maybe. We had some very good chances to even the score or even to score first.
"The scoreline went crazy in the first half, but we had good opportunities to do something in this game.
"Coming back from 3-0 down is always difficult and we had to take risks without exposing ourselves too much.
"The second-half recovery was very good and we had a couple of chances to even the score. The scoreline is crazy."
He also brushed aside Torres' horror miss, insisting it was a freak occurrence rather than a symptom of his struggles at Stamford Bridge.
"You have an example of Rooney missing a penalty too, which is basically the same," he said.
"The worst things happen to the best strikers in the world and today it happened to both of them."
