Arsenal controlled the game and fought for everything, they just looked like they wanted it more and Chelsea were redundant and anonymous throughout.

Trevoh Chalobah is the latest player to speak after the loss, and he assures that the players were confident of a win before the match.

The youngster blames ‘switching off’ for a set-piece as the main reason they lost and the difference between the two sides.

Speaking to the Chelsea website, the centre back said: “We’re disappointed to lose the game, especially when we came into it on the back of a very good result and performance in the Champions League in the week.

“Coming into the game, all the boys were in confident mood so to concede off a set-piece is a killer for us and we’re really frustrated to lose a goal in that way.

“There are never any easy games at this level, you can get punished easily and a set-piece has cost us. I didn’t think there were too many chances in the game and we’ve just switched off at a set-piece, which is really frustrating.”
