David Luiz hails Chelsea's 'amazing spirit' for Man Utd fight-back: We must realise this!

Chelsea defender David Luiz hailed the spirit shown for their 2-2 draw with Manchester United.

Ross Barkley managed to ram home an equaliser in the 97th minute for the hosts.

Luiz played a key role as it was his powerful header from a Cesar Azpilicueta cross which rebounded off the woodwork and led to Barkley smashing home from close range.

"Even though we were 2-1 down, we kept trying to score the equaliser and we did that in the end so I think the spirit was amazing," he said.

"This was a big game against a big club, and it is always like this. We have to realise we had amazing spirit to try and score the second goal and we did that in the end.

"We are happy we have gone this many games without losing, but we are keeping on working hard to try and improve our team because it is just the beginning."
