Branislav Ivanovic: 'Newcastle United made it difficult for Chelsea'

Branislav Ivanovic says it was a "difficult day" for Chelsea after they came from two goals down to draw 2-2 against Newcastle United.

Branislav Ivanovic has said that Chelsea's 2-2 draw against Newcastle United was "difficult".

Chelsea looked to be heading towards a defeat until goals in the final 11 minutes from Ramires and Willian rescued a point for the Blues.

"[It was a] difficult day, a very difficult day. We know how difficult this kind of game is, and in the last couple of years we always had bad results here," Ivanovic told Sky Sports News.

"We didn't start in the first half especially well. In the second half, we dominated and played much better.

"In the end we also had chances to score a third goal. We have to play the whole season like we played in the second half."

The point leaves Chelsea in 15th in the Premier League table.
