— I think today there were two very good teams on the field. In the first half, the opponent had one chance and, unfortunately, that chance ended with a conceded goal. We created three chances during the game: Kerkez, Soboslai, and Isak. I felt that the game was even.

We started the second half well. The fact that we managed to equalize the score was not a surprise. In the last 15 minutes of the match, both teams exchanged chances. But we conceded in the last minute.

The recent results? First and foremost, it’s about the opponents we faced. Last season we also lost to Chelsea. It’s always difficult at Stamford Bridge. We were very close to a positive result, and everything was decided by small details, — said Arne Slot.
