Jose Mourinho bemoaned Chelsea's complacency and the officials as his
side were made to wait to secure qualification from Champions League
Group G after a 1-1 draw at minnows Maribor.
Nemanja Matic's close-range strike salvaged a draw for Chelsea after
Agim Ibraimi's goal for Maribor, who were beaten 6-0 at Stamford Bridge
two weeks ago.
Eden Hazard had a late penalty saved -- but Mourinho felt Chelsea
should already have been in front by then, with substitute Diego Costa
having seen a strike ruled out for offside.
"Many times surprises happen when people are not fully focused, when
they believe the game can't be a difficult one," Mourinho said. "Only
when Maribor scored did the players realise the game was in danger.
After that, a fantastic reaction. We deserved to win, clearly.
"We scored two goals, two very good goals. The second goal, the
referee [Italian Daniele Orsato] decided to disallow but it's a clear
goal.
"Normally we should win because we scored two goals, but we have to
accept it. We didn't reach the number of goals that we should have in
the second half, but the team played well, and we scored a great second
goal.
"And the referee's team did not have a good night."
