Chelsea interim head coach McFarlane has admitted they "let down" supporters after failing to qualify for Europe following defeat by Sunderland. Trai Hume and a Malo Gusto own goal gave the Black Cats a 2-1 win at the Stadium of Light, despite Cole Palmer pulling one back for the Blues. McFarlane insisted his players did "give everything" but said Chelsea had been "too inconsistent" and should be competing in the Champions League.
