Newcastle United boss Sir Bobby Robson raged at young Jermaine Jenas as it was the youngster's missed penalty which handed Chelsea the preseason Asian Cup last night. Jenas tried a chip over the keeper, but sent it over the bar. Newcastle United boss Sir Bobby Robson is furious at Jermaine Jenas after he missed a penalty to give Chelsea the Asia Cup silverware last night in the Asian Cup.

Jenas tried a "cocky Di Canio style" chip - which ended up over the crossbar - and gave Chelsea a 5-4 victory after the initial match ended in a goalless draw.

Chelsea now believe that they can win the league.

"It was an outrageous way to try and take a penalty," said Robson. "He's young and for some reason he has gone against all his education and all his practice to try and do something different and he has come unstuck from that.

"He has to learn from that and I have told him that. He is a young player and he has to learn from being unprofessional. We never see him do that and if I had known he would have taken a penalty like that, he would have been last."

Chelsea boss Claudio Ranieri said, "I am not surprised about John Terry or the other two young players, I am surprised about Robert Huth, he was fantastic.

"We only worked together for five minutes, which is nothing and it shows I have very intelligent players.

"I am very happy. It's my first trophy. I am very pleased with our performance. I was eager to see how they would shape up against a good Newcastle side. And they came off brilliantly.

"We deserve the trophy."
