Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior speaking to TNT Sports: “I don’t want to talk about the football that we played. If we want to improve and get to where we want to be, we have to make sure we’re switched on for 90 minutes. It’s as simple as that.
"Devastated because some of the football we played was excellent. We should come away with three points and we haven't because two of moments in the game we haven't taken care of. We gifted Leeds a point."
On Leeds' goals: “I don’t know if we need to make the challenge for the penalty. But even at 2-1, we need to take the sting out of the game. Whether we think it is handball, we are still in control of the situation. You kick the ball away and ask for handball after. These are small points moments that have cost us three points today.
Did he think it was handball in the build up to Noah Okafor's goal?: “At the time I did. I still haven’t seen it. The rule is if there is any contact with his hand, it should be disallowed.
"From my understanding, if there is any handball in the build-up to the goal, it should be disallowed. They (VAR) need to help the referee."
