Fikayo Tomori admits that Chelsea's players were angry in the dressing room after throwing away a two-goal lead against Sheffield United yesterday (Saturday).
The 21-year-old defender made his full debut for Chelsea in the game at Stamford Bridge, with Tomori lining up as part of the youngest-ever Blues starting XI in the Premier League era.
But he spoke of his disappointment at the result, after a Callum Robinson strike and an own goal from Kurt Zouma helped Sheffield United battle back to claim a point, cancelling out Tammy Abraham's first half double in west London.
“We’re all angry because when you’re 2-0 up at home then the game should be safe,” Tomori told the club’s website as he gave an honest assessment of the 2-2 draw.
“We said at half-time that we wanted to up it again but we didn’t do that. We conceded a goal really early on in the second half and it becomes very difficult when you do that. It’s disappointing but we just have to learn from it.
“This is Chelsea, we’re a big club and there’s a lot of expectations but we’re here to try to meet those expectations.
“There are high standards and when we fall below those standards then of course there will be questions. It’s not always going to be perfect but in games like today, when we’re in such a strong position and then we throw it away, it’s disappointing.
“I’m here to try and push everyone else in the squad in my position so it was nice to get my full debut. I’m very proud but it would have been even better for us to get the win.
