The Blues suffered a scare when Fernando Llorente equalised with a powerful header just before half time.

He told BBC Sport: "For sure we dominated the game. We played very well, it was a good performance and we created many chances to score.
"We conceded at the end of the first half, after the time was finished, so in this case there was a bit of luck, but we showed great character in the second half.
"We deserved a lot to win the game, now it’s important to continue in this way. To look at ourselves and to think to win, to continue with great focus and concentration."
