Chelsea had a total of 22 shots in the entire game but only five were on target. With that, they dominated the game with 78% ball possession but failed to make any of it count as they were dispossessed 20 times along the way.

The selection of Alvaro Morata over Olivier Giroud is definitely a questionable one and in fact, does not make any sense as the Frenchman had scored the winning goal in the weekend and was on a much better run of form than the Spaniard.

Eden Hazard also getting relegated to the bench also played a huge factor as Chelsea failed to capitalize on their momentum in the first half and it was only after the introduction of Giroud and Hazard that led to Chelsea finding some impulse en route to the equalizer.

Putting aside the team selection, the Blues had some glorious chances to go in front in the first half, especially when Antonio Rudiger squander his opportunity from two yards out as his sliding effort put the ball wide. Morata did create some decent goalscoring chances but once again his poor quality and lack of end product cost the team.

The West London club were frankly fortunate they found an equalizer as an attempted clearance from Zanka bounced off the face of Marcos Alonso and into the back of the net.
