Chelsea were beaten 1‑0 by Sunderland in the Premier League on Sunday, with the only goal coming from Enzo Le Fée at the Stadium of Light.
After the match, manager Xabi Alonso admitted that his side failed to create enough chances against the hosts. He said the Blues lacked “a bit of speed on the ball” and “a bit of patience” when facing Sunderland’s low block.
“It’s our mistake. We were missing a bit of speed on the ball, a bit of patience playing against a low block,” Alonso told Sky Sports. “We didn’t create enough chances; we didn’t have enough patience or creativity to create chances.”
With the loss, Chelsea will look to rebound when they face Leeds United in their next Premier League fixture after the international break.
