Chelsea star David Luiz has made a strong promise to fans that he and his teammates will not give up the fight to be the top team in England this season despite their latest setback against Everton.
At Stamford Bridge, the Blues failed to convert the numerous chances they had, mostly in the second half and were left with only a point after the game. Chelsea looked poor in the first half, however a shift in gear gave the Toffees more trouble than they anticipated. Jordan Pickford was forced to make sharp saves to deny Alvaro Morata and co.
The result leaves Maurizio Sarri’s men third in the standings, behind Liverpool and Manchester City who both won their matches over the weekend against Fulham and Man United respectively.
Luiz maintains his side will not bow down to the pressure and bounce back as quickly as possible. We might have to.
“We controlled the game. The marking from Everton was amazing. They blocked the space in the middle so we didn’t have a lot of combinations in the middle and from the sides, and in the end they were a bit lucky because we tried to score but didn’t score.
We did everything to try to win. Sometimes it’s possible, sometimes it’s not, and we’re still there, trying to be at the top of the table so we’re going to fight until the end.”
