Chelsea Coach Reacts To Anjorin's Missed Scoring Chance Vs Barcelona

Impact substitute Faustino Anjorin missed at least two scoring opportunities during Chelsea's UEFA Youth League semifinal tie against Barcelona on Friday evening which ended in favour of the Stamford Bridge outfit.
The England U18 international fired straight at goalkeeper Arnau Tenas in the 81st minute before heading over the crossbar from close range following a goalmouth scramble in the 86th minute.
In his first game for over three months, Anjorin was lively and scored what proved to be the decisive penalty in the shootout when it went to sudden death.
Chelsea U19 boss Joe Edwards believes his team would have won if the game had been prolonged and rued the missed chances.
''If the game had gone on a bit longer I believe we’d have got the winner. We had some back luck with a fantastic short corner routine that came off but got blocked on the line, then there was a goalmouth scramble where Tino and Charlie had some chances, but it wasn’t to be,'' said Edwards to Chelsea's official website.
Two-time winners Chelsea will meet Portuguese club Porto in Monday's showpiece in Nyon.
