[LNB]"We did a very good job, especially in the second half," Ancelotti told Sky Sports. "The first half was more difficult because Tottenham played well.[LNB]"We played well defensively and counter-attacked well, and this was an important match for the fans as well.[LNB]"We have started very well but we have to continue because the championship is not finished now. It is very long and we have to pay attention every match."[LNB]Tottenham had a strong appeal for a penalty turned down when Robbie Keane appeared to be tripped by Ricardo Carvalho but Ancelotti insists he could not see the incident clearly.[LNB]He said: "I was far from the situation but I don't like to speak about the job of the referee. I prefer to speak about the match."[LNB]DrogbaDrogba suffered an injury towards the end of the Stamford Bridge encounter and left the pitch in considerable pain.[LNB]The problem will be assessed over the next few days but Ancelotti does not think it will be a major issue. [LNB]"We don't know," he said. "We will have to wait some days but we hope it is not a big problem. [LNB]"We think he had cramp and we hope he will be good for the next matches."[LNB]
