Frustrating, that was the word which passed through Frank Lampard's lips after our 2-2 draw with Fulham yesterday.
The stand-in captain had pulled Chelsea back from a one-goal deficit but had to suffer dissapointment as the Blues gave two points away in the dying minutes of the game from Fulham's first corner.
'Without a doubt we should have won the game,' explained Lampard.
'We had a lot of chances in the game and when it was 2-1 we were fairly comfortable.
'They only had two chances from set pieces, so it was very frustrating for us to drop two points.'
Fulham came out in front of the home fans with intent, and from the kick off managed to put the Chelsea defence under pressure, but, despite two substitutions in the first half, as Florent Malouda and Alex limped off, the Blues more than a matched our west London neighbours.
Then the second half was a different story, with a blue tide flowing over Craven Cottage and Lampard netting two goals, one from a Didier Drogba-pressured Fulham mistake and the second from a perfectly placed freekick.
'Fulham has always been one of those teams that I score against, so I was pleased, but it doesn't matter too much now, I would rather have scored none and we won 1-0.'
Virtually the only two chances Fulham produced were the ones which found the net, both of which were set pieces.
The first saw Chelsea hesitant inside the six yard box and the second saw the Clint Dempsey head home from a corner for his second.
'We had chances. Their keeper has probably been the best keeper in the league up until now, he made some good saves, but we managed to get our nose in front and we felt comfortable in the game.
'Then we managed to get done on the set pieces and obviously there's frustration in the dressing room after the game.
'But it was a decent performance; we deserved to win the game.
'We conceded two goals from set pieces, which is a disappointment, but other than that we dominated the game, especially in the second half.'
Yesterday's point leaves us three behind Liverpool, whose 5-1 win over Newcastle extended their lead at the top, but Lampard knows the season is still young and the title race still on.
'It [the title race] is virtually the same as it was, it is still very tight, we have obviously lost a bit of ground now, but in terms of there being a long way to go, there are big games coming up.
'We still have Manchester United as our next game in the league, so it's still all to play for.
'It's frustrating to us because we have lost points, but they are never in the bag until the final whistle, so it makes it even more important in the next games.
'We dropped points against Fulham, so Manchester United have a chance to go above us if they win all of their games in hand, so it brings a lot of importance.'
