Roberto Di Matteo has dismissed suggestions that his Chelsea team have benefitted from good fortune recently.
The Blues unconvincingly beat Wigan Athletic 2-1 on Saturday and replays later showed that both of their goals should have been ruled out for offside.
That result moved Chelsea to within three points of fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League table, but the Italian has rebuffed claims that his team are lucky to still be in contention for a Champions League place.
"If you look at this team this season, we haven't had exactly a lot of luck," he said.
"Sometimes, you need a little break, but I don't think we had actually many this season, to be honest."
Chelsea face Fulham at Craven Cottage this evening.
