Guardiola later said: "After the first goal, Cole had the chance to make it to 2-0, but he was so generous.
"Usually he is a machine in such a situation. We were lucky they didn't score and we could come back instead."
On the other hand, Chelsea manager was Enzo Maresca conceded: "I'm pretty sure the match would have been completely different if we had scored the second goal.
"Unfortunately, they did not succeed."
