Chelsea winger Christian Pulisic has admitted his teammates weren’t prepared to stop Manchester City’s counters in the 3-1 defeat at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.

He said: “We conceded goals with a lot of counter situations and we were not prepared to stop that, so the first half really let us down.

“We had to go back out and show character. We are never going to give up. We know we have talented guys and a good team but we need to show it, which is what we did in the second half.

“It’s not easy to come back from three goals down but it’s happened before so we gave it everything and managed to get one back.

“But it was just too little, too late.”
