Rafael Benitez believes Chelsea should have been given a penalty and Fabricio Coloccini deserved a red card after Demba Ba was left with a broken nose in the defeat to Newcastle.

Reaction

Chelsea came from behind in the second half through two superb goals from Frank Lampard and Juan Mata but were pegged back by Newcastle's new signing Moussa Sissoko, who added a stoppage-time strike to seal the win. Benitez hailed the response of his side after the break, adding: "The reaction of the team in the second half was fantastic. "We scored great goals, we had more chances and we made the mistake of allowing them to play counter-attack, which is something we will have to improve on."
