David Luiz shocked by Chelsea display

 
Chelsea's David Luiz celebrates his team's win against Benfica
24 October 2012

Chelsea defender David Luiz could not hide his shock at his side's performance as they went down 2-1 to Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League.

Alex Teixeira and Fernandinho gave Shakhtar a 2-0 lead and although Oscar pulled one back with two minutes to go, the defending champions could not force the equaliser.

It means Shakhtar have deservedly taken charge of Champions League Group E in the first of what could be a crucial double-header.

Luiz was at a loss to explain Chelsea's display and told Sky Sports 4: "I don't know.

"They don't give you the opportunity to win the game.

"We did not play well - I am shocked by the performance.

"Congratulations to Shakhtar. Maybe now we think just of the next game."
