"One of the best teams!" — Erik Ten Hag gives honest verdict on Chelsea after Manchester United draw.

The  Manchester United boss has given his honest opinion on Chelsea while lauding his side's performance over 'one of the best teams ' in the Premier League. 

Erik ten Hag was proud of his team's ability to fight back as Manchester United salvaged a dramatic 1-1 draw with Chelsea in stoppage time at Stamford Bridge.

A 93rd-minute header by Casemiro was enough to cancel out Jorginho's late penalty, ensuring the Red Devils take a point back to Old Trafford. This leaves Ten Hag's men fifth in the Premier League table, but still just a point behind Chelsea in fourth.  

In a post match briefing via Football.London, Erik Ten Hag lauded his team for their performance, while describing Chelsea as one of the best teams in the Premier League:

"That was a good part. It's part of our philosophy to dominate games like this and especially when you can do it against a team like Chelsea, one of the best teams in the Premier League. It gives a good feeling." 

"One of the best teams in the Premier League" 👏

“I think it was a good game. In the first half, we dominated the game. But also, that is why the opponent switched their system. And they made it a little more difficult for us, like we saw in the last minutes of the first half. In the second half, I think it was even. It was a battle between two teams of the same height. And in the end, I think a point was justified." Ten Hag continued.

On the penalty conceded, Ten Hag said: 

“It was deserved. It was tough, when you get so short for time, you get 1-0 down, I think it is really difficult after the fourth game in 10 days to fight back. But the team found their energy and their strength and fought back. And that’s really big for this team.” 

“It is what it is and we accept it and we fought back. I have to see. The referee made the decision, we have to accept it and we carry on.”
