Chelsea's German international Michael Ballack felt that their 2-0 victory against Coventry City in the FA Cup on Saturday was not an easy victory that those who had only seen the score-line may have thought.

"It looked easier than it was," Ballack told Chelsea's club website.

"In some moments of the game they played easy football with long balls. That was difficult for us to defend because they had a very strong striker at the front. It was difficult to defend but we did it well. It wasn't easy."
