EPL: Why Chelsea couldn’t defeat Manchester United – David Luiz

Chelsea defender, David Luiz has revealed why the team could not defeat Manchester United in their Premier League clash on Saturday.
The Brazilian defender criticised Jose Mourinho’s approach in the 2-2 draw and saying United did not try to play football.
Chelsea took the lead at the Stamford Bridge but United rallied in the second half, only for Ross Barkley to score a last-gasp equaliser.
The Blues recorded 62% possession and had three times as many shots as their opponents.
“We tried to win from the beginning of the game,” Luiz told Chelsea’s official website.
“We controlled the game with possession, trying to create some space to score some goals. They came with a plan just to defend and play on the counter-attack.
“I think in the first half it was just us who played.
“We could have done better by scoring the second goal to kill the game, but it is never easy to win in the Premier League, especially against a big opponent.
“It gave them a chance because we had only scored one goal and in the second half they came and scored a lucky goal with the ball touching a player and bouncing about.
“After they scored, they had a bit more confidence, and it was a great game. This is the Premier League against fantastic teams, so we have to keep going and try to work hard.”

Jurgen Klopp storms onto pitch and rages at Liverpool star after Chelsea lows

Jurgen Klopp  made a beeline for summer signing Xherdan Shaqiri and gave him some animated feedback on his performance in Liverpool’s defeat to Chelsea on Wednesday evening. The Reds took a second-half lead at Anfield in the Carabao Cup through Daniel Sturridge, but were stung late on by a tap-in from full-back Emerson before  Eden Hazard scored an incredible solo goal to put the visitors into the next round. At full-time, Klopp exchanged pleasantries with Maurizio Sarri and the Chelsea bench, but then walked onto the pitch to seek out Shaqiri. The Swiss star had a rather frustrating evening, wasting a number of chances on the break as Chelsea pushed for an equaliser, and Klopp seemed furious with his winger. He stormed past other Liverpool players and shouted at Shaqiri, appearing to admonishing him for some mistakes he made during the match. Klopp gesticulated and pointed wildly, though did shake hands with Shaqiri – who was listening to his manager intently – to
