Lopetegui hails 'amazing' Porto

Porto coach Julen Lopetegui was delighted with his
players following their 2-1 defeat of Chelsea in the
Champions League.

Julen Lopetegui lauded his "amazing" Porto players following
Tuesday's hard-fought 2-1 Champions League win over
Chelsea.

The home side edged an entertaining encounter to deny Chelsea
boss Jose Mourinho a much-needed win on his return to his
former club.

Andre Andre put Porto ahead only for Willian to equalise with a
stunning free-kick in first-half injury-time. Chelsea could only
remain on level terms for seven minutes after the
restart, though, as home captain Maicon nodded home a
corner to hand Lopetegui's men their first win in Group G.

"The players' attitude was amazing, spectacular. It was our best
performance of the season," Lopetegui said.

"I have to congratulate my team. These three points are totally
deserved. It was tough and unfair to go to the dressing room at
half-time with a draw, but we reacted well."

Maicon added on UEFA.com: "Fortunately, I have been able to
score some important goals lately. We accomplished our
objective for this match, that was to take all three points. Now
we will celebrate a bit in the dressing room and start thinking
of the next match."
