Kurt Zouma has insisted Chelsea cannot seek excuses for Saturday's shock 5-2 Premier League thumping by West Brom and must 'react strongly'.
The France defender admitted being stunned by the Blues' hefty defeat, the first of Thomas Tuchel's Stamford Bridge reign.
Thiago Silva's first-half red card altered the complexion of the contest, but after that the Baggies dominated and fired five impressive goals.
Chelsea will take on Porto in Seville in the Champions League quarter-final first leg on Wednesday, and Zouma admits there is precious little time to dwell on the West Brom loss.
