Rafa targets first win

Rafael Benitez yesterday admitted Chelsea were desperate for a goal but insisted scoring in their Premier League game at West Ham would mean nothing if they did not win.

Interim manager Benitez has yet to witness either event in his two matches in charge, successive 0-0 draws with Manchester City and Fulham, results which only served to compound the supporter revolt.

Supporters have voiced their opposition to Benitez’s appointment and displayed banners protesting at the club’s choice of replacement for Roberto Di Matteo.
