David Wagner Admits Huddersfield 'Deserved' Defeat After 3-0 Loss to Chelsea on Saturday

David Wagner was obviously unhappy to see his Huddersfield side lose to Chelsea in their opening match of the new Premier League season, but admits the loss was deserved.

The Terriers suffered a 3-0 home defeat to last season's FA Cup winners through goals from N'Golo Kante, Jorginho and Pedro. But Wagner seemed satisfied with the effort from his players, praising their passion and commitment after the game.

"It was a disappointing afternoon," he told Sky Sports in a post-match interview. "I think if we play Chelsea at home most people would expect us to concede a defeat, which we've got, and at the end it was a deserved defeat.
