EPL: Azpilicueta reveals why Chelsea lost 4-0 to Man Utd

Chelsea captain, Cesar Azpilicueta, has claimed they deserved more from their trip to Old Trafford after they lost 4-0 to Manchester United in their Premier League opener.

Speaking with the club’s official website, Azpilicueta blamed poor finishing for the loss.

Marcus Rashford netted a brace, while Anthony Martial and substitute, Daniel James also got on the scoresheet.

The final scoreline flattered Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side, after a first-half which saw the Blues hit the woodwork twice and squander a number of other good chances.

“We’re obviously very disappointed with the result because we controlled the game, especially in the first half, and created a lot of chances but we couldn’t score.

“It’s a tough scoreline to take but we weren’t clinical in the boxes and after we conceded two goals in two minutes, things were more difficult for us.

“From that point, we were more open and gave them more spaces, they got more confidence and at the end, we got a tough result. We deserved more but it is what it is and we have to move on,” Azpilicueta said.
