Conor Gallagher has revealed that he and his Chelsea teammates are gutted to have dropped two points against Manchester City.

The Blues were held by Pep Guardiola’s side away at the Etihad, despite leading for more than 50 minutes.

Raheem Sterling scored the opener in the first half, but Chelsea failed to increase their lead despite having numerous opportunities to do so, before Rodri struck late in the second half to make it 1-1.

Conor Gallagher said after the Manchester City game: “We are slightly disappointed because we were winning the game. They were, in terms of possession, dominating the game but I feel we had a lot of chances to win the game. We are disappointed to concede late but pleased with the point.

“We countered them well so I think it is a fair result in the end.

“I think we had a chance or two to get the second and we didn’t. But they had chances as well and it could have gone either way. We’ll take the point.

“I feel that the lads were brilliant and defensively we were very focused. We were very tired but we saw it through and we are happy with the performance.”
