Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata was proud of their performance in defeat at former club Chelsea.

Mata wrote in his personal blog: "When we were leaving Stamford Bridge, to catch the train and go back to Manchester, I had mixed feelings. I was angry about the defeat, I was thrilled after seeing some old friends, but especially I was proud - mainly for two reasons...

"I felt proud of the game the team had played, keeping the ball possession, controlling the game and creating chances to score, and all this at Stamford Bridge against the [league] leader. As our manager said after the game, we were loyal to our football idea. If we keep playing like this there will be many more wins than defeats, I'm pretty sure of that."
