Liam Rosenior, Chelsea’s manager, stated his squad failed to generate a quality moment as they fell 1-0 to Arsenal in the Carabao Cup semi-final second leg.

The Blues entered the game behind 3-2 from the first leg.

Rosenior’s side remained close and scarcely troubled the Gunners until Cole Palmer and Estevao came on in the second half.

But it was Kai Havertz who netted the winner with the last kick of the match.

Rosenior, speaking to ITV1, said: “We dominated the areas we wanted to in the second half, but we didn’t find that quality moment.

“When you’re pushing as we were, we put both defenders in the box and in the last few minutes of injury time that (conceding) can always happen.

“Arsenal know they were in for a game today, over both ties. I think there are clear improvements from the first leg to the second.

“Yes, it’s painful to lose – you want to go through. We just need to keep making improvements – which I’m seeing.”
