Benitez offers no excuses for Chelsea defeat

Rafael Benitez is adamant Manchester United were not on Chelsea’s mind in the Europa League loss at Steaua Bucharest.

Raul Rusescu converted a 34th-minute penalty after he was pulled back by Ryan Bertrand to give the Romanians a 1-0 advantage in the last 16 tie ahead of next week’s second leg at Stamford Bridge.
