Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois believes Chelsea missed a big guy upfront who could have converted the numerous chances that Chelsea created.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Courtois said: “Coming here was always going to be tough, they’re on a good run so we expected a tough game but we tried our best to win.

“Their goalkeeper made a few good saves and we had to be careful on the counter but other than a few free-kicks they didn’t have many chances.

“It’s not easy when a team falls back, I think we could’ve had more shots on target but we didn’t have a big guy up front despite lots of crosses into the box.

“We concentrated hard on keeping the clean sheet, which is a good thing from today of course, but we’re not happy we didn’t create the chances to score.”
