Chelsea fullback Emerson admits one frustration after FA Cup triumph

Chelsea fullback Emerson Palmieri admitted one frustration after their FA Cup defeat of Morecambe.

Chelsea won 4-0 and Emerson admits he would've liked to have been on the scoresheet himself.

He said, "I tried three times, it didn't happen in this game, but I'm happy for the team and the result.

"Callum, Hakim or Christian, they like to stay between the lines, so for me I have the space for the overlap. Or yesterday, Callum stayed high more with me inside, so this is a good connection. It depends on the opponent and we try to move the defenders."

Emerson also said: "The game yesterday was very important for us because in the last game we lost. So the most important thing was to have a solid game and get the victory, like we did."
