David Hytner was at Stamford Bridge, and his report has landed. Thanks for reading this MBM. Nighty night.
Graham Potter speaks to BT Sport. “We’re disappointed with the result in the end. I thought the boys gave everything. Really did. They attacked quite well. Scored a good goal. Lost a little bit during the second period of the second half, but responded well again. Their keeper has made some good saves. So overall, disappointed with the result, it wasn’t quite to be today. It’s not easy to control how Salzburg play, you have to credit them for that. But we controlled the first half and got into the final third a lot. They defended well with blocks, and we had a few efforts we didn’t do so well with, but against a Champions League side, you’re not going to open them up so easily. It is what it is. We have to dust ourselves down, but the application of the boys was fantastic, the attitude was great, the personality as well, so we’ll get better. It’s impossible to control the whole thing for 90 minutes, and the period we didn’t, they scored, so that’s something to get better with. It’s always irritating to concede a goal, but overall our defensive performance was quite strong. It’s a point, we have to take it. No complaints, apart from the fact we haven’t taken the three points.”
