Chelsea 1-1 Aston Villa: Premier League – as it happened

We started really well. Villa had some moments but we came through the first half really good. Second half, we conceded a goal with a man on the floor, that’s kind of the run we’re on at the minute. And then we pushed, and we couldn’t break the deadlock in the end to get the win. But attitude wise it was really good, against a good team.

Christian Pulisic was really bright all game. He created a few chances for himself, and a lot of our play was really good. And when you’re in a bit of a tough moment sometimes things don’t go for you. A month ago, probably we win that game. You have to fight through it, but I can’t ask for more than what the players gave.

Giroud gets on the end of things in the box and we have to deliver for him, and we did with the build-up to that goal. Nobody let me down tonight. Everyone worked, after playing two days ago, we didn’t quite get the rub of the green in a way.
