After the halftime signal, the former Ajax player contacted his Belgian teammate to discuss an opportunity for The Blues to have. Ziyech wanted to play the ball hard in his feet, but Lukaku felt that this could have been done much better. “The ball went through. It really came in front of me”, reacted the Belgian international, who was clearly not happy that he couldn’t get the ball in his barrel.
Ziyech tried to keep his spirits up by saying that a good assumption would be enough for Lukaku to score a goal. It would not come that far, however, instead of extending the lead, Brighton & Hove Albion came alongside after the break.
