José Mourinho expresses deep disappointment as his team faces an early exit from the League Cup. Chelsea was ousted from the English League Cup by Sunderland on Tuesday, succumbing to a goal from Ki during extra time. This result proves disheartening for the Portuguese manager, who had prioritized success in all competitions this season.
Despite Chelsea initially taking control of the match, with a goalless first half, a pivotal moment occurred when Lee Cattermole, under pressure from Franck Lampard, allowed the Blues to seize the advantage after returning from halftime. Samuel Eto’o, making a comeback from injury, started but was substituted out in the 74th minute, witnessing Borini’s equalizer in the 88th minute. The match progressed into extra time, where Korean player Ki, coming on in the second half, dealt a decisive blow to Chelsea with a goal in the 119th minute.
