Chelsea star Willian has revealed that the side were happy with their draw against Newcastle United during the weekend after coming back from two goals down to finish the game 2-2, according to reports from the Daily Star.

The Magpies carried that momentum with them as they doubled their lead on the hour mark through Georginio Wijnaldum, as he stooped low to head home Perez’s corner. “There were six players I could have taken off. That is how bad we were”.
“But this first half, I can rate as one of those performances, yes”. I put it down to terrible individual performances. “Too many poor individual performances and as effect it’s impossible for the team to be a good competitive team”. But Newcastle are fighting for their lives and they got their fans onside when they went up, which wasn’t great for us.
However, Mourinho quickly shuffled his pack and two of his substitutes did the trick when Ramires reduced the deficit with a 79th-minute piledriver and Willian levelled direct from a free-kick with just four minutes remaining. I am a striker and I have to score goals, so it felt very good.
Ramires keeps #CFC in the match with a long goal late in the second half.
“We’ve always said from day one be patient”.
‘If we play like we did in the first, we can lose every match.
The draw left Chelsea 15th in the Premier League and meant the champions failed to gain as much as they wanted after Manchester City’s 4-1 mauling at Tottenham.
“We are a young side, but we have many, many qualities in the squad and we can win against any team”.
The second-half was-Wijnaldum’s goal aside-far more encouraging for Chelsea, who were without Diego Costa as he served the second of his three-match ban.

“Against a few teams, they sweat blood, and against others, they don’t”, he said. They don’t, but this is their problem. Eden Hazard seems to be getting back to his best after a poor start and I expect the Blues to win comfortably here.
