| Declan Rice on the mood in the dressing room following #CHEARS:
“It’s a bitter feeling to be honest, because if we know if we did in the second half what we did in first, we would have won the game.
“In football, things throw out surprises and in the first half, we weren’t as good as we wanted to be. In the second half, I feel like we showed that character again like we did against Man City, and to get the point in the end was a really important result.
“[Being 2-0 down] is tough, it’s really tough. I think you always want to go into games thinking that you’ll get three points, but from the way we came back from 2-0 down away from home, the Chelsea fans and players were really up for it, we showed that fight and character.
“Even though we didn’t win, there are positives to be taken there. The mentality is there, the belief is there that we don’t want to get beaten, and being the best that we can.” [@arsenal] #afc
