Acording to Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham he said: “In the first half we made it difficult for ourselves. I had a chance I should have put away and one I should be taking at this level. They scored from every shot. We knew we had to come out in the second half and not drop our heads – and that’s what we did.”
Frank Lampard commeneting on the game said: “We all went in and our heads were down and he had to lift us up. He said we didn’t look like a team ready to go out and win and we needed to pick each other up in the second half. Thankfully Mason [Mount] got the goal which meant we could believe. I knew we’d get chances but to come back from 3-0 is never easy. The boys deserve credit, they kept going.” “We need to cut out the mistakes as a team so we don’t concede. We need to be strong together and keep encouraging one another.”
