The effect of 2-2 draw vs Arsenal on Chelsea squad

Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella in a post-match statement spoke on the effect their 2-2 draw vs Arsenal had on the team.

Despite not win ing all three points against the Gunners, Cucurella believed there were plenty of positives to take away from the game and he has called on the Blues to focus on the performance levels and build on that from now until the end of the season as we look to climb the Premier League table.

‘We played well and there are definitely positives to take,’ added our number three. ‘If we play at this level for the rest of the season, we will win a lot of games.

‘Like I said, we are angry at the result but we are happy with the performance generally. It gives us confidence and we need to take this into the next game.

‘The reality is we have only come away with one point, which isn’t enough for a club like Chelsea, but for sure we have things to be proud of and things we can build on.

‘If we play like this going forward, I’m sure we can have a good season. We have only played eight or nine games, so there is still a lot of matches to play and a lot of points to be won.

‘We need to improve and keep building.’
