Shakhtar Donetsk 2 Chelsea 1: match report The next four weeks will define the direction of Chelsea's season, with two games against Manchester United and home dates with both Liverpool and Manchester City. It was vital to maintain the momentum but they hit turbulence here at a venue that has proven impregnable for 11 months. Indeed, Shakhtar have not lost a game in any competition since that Champions League defeat to Porto last November and the scent of blood was in the nostrils of a boisterous home support. The Ukranian league leaders have a winning mentality arguably unmatched in Europe and were ahead here on three minutes. Terry was heavily involved, with Luiz Adriano's shot taking a deflection off the Chelsea defender to fortuitously fall into the path of Teixeira whose finish was clinical. Chelsea could have been further behind when Willian was allowed too much space to advance towards the penalty area but his shot was too high. Lampard, making his 100th European appearance for the club, then added to the gloom when he limped off with what appeared a recurrence of the knee injury that ruled him out of England's recent World Cup qualifiers. The game was absorbing, with both sides intent on catching each other out on the counter-attack. Fernando Torres produced a microcosm of his form over the past 12 months in a foray into enemy territory, appearing to be outmuscled before retrieving possession and bamboozling three defenders with his footwork before his pass was cut out before a team-mate could react. As the home team cleared the danger, Willian delivered an exquisite ball to send Henrik Mkhitaryan clear but his cross was cut out by Terry. Chelsea simply could not find a solution to nullify the threat of the Brazilian and he was once again influential to tee up Darijo Srna, whose shot was turned over by Petr Cech. Chelsea's goalkeeper was required again seven minutes before half-time, repelling a close-range effort from Tomas Hubschman as the visiting defence dithered. Di Matteo probably doesn't do the hairdryer treatment but Chelsea's start to the second period suggested the half-time inquest had been savage. But minutes after Juan Mata had narrowly missed the target with a shot that always rising, they were further behind and in big trouble. Eden Hazard, Lampard's replacement, was caught in possession by Fernandinho and Adriano provided the perfectly weighted pass back to the midfielder who shot across Cech and into the far corner. Not even Terry, who has always responded in the face of adversity, could halt the relentless pressure. Terry appeared to lose his frustration as the game edged away from Chelsea, bundling over the dangerous Adriano in the corner. But his team still manufactured chances of their own and claimed a late consolation two minutes from time when Oscar swept in Branislav Ivanovic's cross from close range. There was to be no late fireworks, though, and Chelsea need to produce a fierce response to ensure their dream of retaining the trophy does not fizzle away and die.
