Loftus-Cheek reacts to Chelsea loss vs Everton

Chelsea star Ruben Loftus-Cheek has reacted to the Blues defeat vs Everton in the EPL on Sunday.

The Blues suffered their first away defeat since January after Richarlison tap onto a defensive error few minutes in the second-half.

While manager Thomas Tuchel described individual mistakes as one of the reasons to blame for the current Premier League form, Loftus-Cheek als agreed with the coach’s post-match comments when assessing the game.

‘We’re all very disappointed. Coming into the game we knew it was going to be a hostile atmosphere and it’d be like a final to them. We felt that straight away,’ Loftus-Cheek said after making his 50th Chelsea start at Goodison.

‘They came out of the blocks second half and caught us napping. We were fighting an uphill battle from then on, the fans were behind them, and it was hard to break them down. It was disappointing.

‘We’ve made a few mistakes over the past few matches and haven’t kept clean sheets from individual errors. That is how football is, if you keep shooting yourselves in the foot it will be difficult to get out of it.’
