Chelsea manager Graham Potter believes his side’s 1-1 draw with Manchester United at home was a fair result. Speaking to Sky Sports (h/t BBC) after the game, the manager had his say.
“A really fighting performance from us, we improved a lot after 30 minutes so we will take what we get. I thought the players’ attitude on the pitch was great, the boys gave everything in a hard, intense match in the middle of a really busy period. The boys left everything out there. I thought we could’ve attacked a bit better at times. We had chances, they had chances so a point is about right.”
Jorginho gave us the lead from the spot-kick in the 87th minute after Scott McTominay bought down Armando Broja in the box during the corner kick. The Blues thought they would walk out with all three points, but Casemiro had other plans.
The Brazilian equalised for his side during injury time. Kepa Arrizabalaga got his hand to the header, but could not keep it from crossing the line. The referee awarded the goal after looking at his watch for confirmation.
Both the clubs had their moments, although it was Erik ten Hag’s side that enjoyed most of the possession and shots on goals. The midfield could have done a better job, with us failing to hold the ball for much longer in the middle of the park.
Kepa was phenomenal throughout the game and only had a very unlucky moment in the end. Trevoh Chalobah came close to scoring his first goal of the season, but his header was denied by the bar.
This result means that Chelsea remains unbeaten under Potter in all competitions since his appointment in September. Focus now shifts to the Champions League with the Blues travelling to face RB Salzburg this Tuesday. A win there could seal our qualification to the next round.
