Roberto Di Matteo: Chelsea pressure told on Reading

Chelsea manager Roberto Di Matteo believes the pressure his side exerted whilst trailing in the second-half merited their 3-2 Premier League win over newly-promoted Reading.

The Italian felt his side were "galvanised" by falling behind to Danny Guthrie's free-kick after Pavel Pogrebnyak's had equalised Frank Lampard's penalty.

The European Cup winner described as "entertaining" a game in which Gary Cahill's long-range shot gave the Blues parity before Fernando Torres grabbed the winner and Branislav Ivanovic rounded off the scoring.
