Chelsea's off field blues overshadow good start, says Bertrand

Chelsea defender Ryan Bertrand believes the Blues have not received the credit they deserve for their on-field performances due to the off-field controversies that have engulfed them.

The Stamford Bridge club have been embroiled in the fall-out from the Mark Clattenburg affair, with the club having accused him of using “inappropriate language” towards John Obi Mikel last weekend, which has come hot on the heels of the John Terry racism scandal.
