Alonso says Chelsea fell short and declines to blame the referee

The penalty that produced Sunderland’s goal drew criticism from Chelsea goalkeeper Mike Penders, but Alonso did not make it his explanation for the 1-0 defeat. He said he had not watched the incident again and called it an error by his own team, which could have defended better. Alonso said Chelsea had not done enough to deserve a win, lacking patience, quality and creativity against a compact defense and moving the ball from side to side inconsistently. He added that Chelsea had not been physically dominated and could have defended and attacked better.
