The blues midfield maestro conceded that the blues were punished for their poor finishing in the game before late goals from Borini and Defoe condemned Chelsea to defeat.
'We started the game well and for the first 30-35 minutes we had control and we were playing well, we were creating chances, moving the ball quickly and players wanted to get involved.' Mikel reported to ChelseaFc.com.
'In the second half we came out and wanted to carry where we left off but we didn't kill the game when we had the chances to do it.Then Ivanovic went  down, the referee didn't blow the whistle, we stopped a little and they scored the second goal. From then, they had some momentum, they built on that and got the third goal'
The defeat was the twelfth loss Chelsea have suffered in the league with Incoming boss Conte having a lot of work to do in the summer to return the team to its peak.
