Jose Mourinho insists Chelsea were the better team with 11 players
The defending Premier League champions were held at home in an eventful affair that saw Thibaut Courtois sent off.
The Belgium international saw red after bringing down Bafetimbi Gomis on the edge of the 18-yard box.
And Jose Mourinho has admitted the sending off ruined his side's chances as they were the better side prior to the incident.
He told BBC Sport: "They didn't have chances against 11. The team was playing very, very well in the first half.

I would say we were the best team with 11 players and with 10 we fought hard
Jose Mourinho
"In the second, in one minute, it was a penalty, red card and the goal - 2-2.
"If you have 10 men and are winning you can defend well and try to find a strategy but to play with 10 men and try to win the game is more difficult.
"I would say we were the best team with 11 players and with 10 we fought hard, some fighting at the limit of their condition."
