We're disappointed — Chelsea boss laments bottling two-goal lead to Arsenal

Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino expressed his disappointment after his team settled for a point against Arsenal despite having a two-goal lead.

Cole Palmer’s strike from the penalty spot and Mykhailo Mudryk’s wonder strike put the Blues 2-0 ahead, but the West London side conceded two goals from Declan Rice and Leandro Trossard, silencing the Stamford Bridge.

 "I think we lost two points. We are disappointed but you cannot change the analysis and the judgement of the game,” he said, per the BBC.

“We were very competitive against a very good team fighting for the Premier League last season.

"We are a young team and I think the way we competed is a lot to be proud but we're disappointed because, after 77 minutes when we conceded the first goal, I think we were better. The game was under control and we were playing well and dominating the game.

"But when you concede, there is a risk. Yes, we're disappointed but we have to take positive things. I want to see my players sad because they lost two points. We are in a good direction. It's important we show the people we can compete at this level."

Meanwhile, Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has praised Chelsea’s effort against his team in their Saturday evening London derby clash.
