Arsenal attacker Trossard on fight-back at Chelsea: We never dropped our heads

Arsenal attacker Leandro Trossard praised the team's spirit as they came back to earn a draw against Chelsea.

The Belgian came off the bench for boss Mikel Arteta, as they were trailing 2-0, and helped them to earn a 2-2 draw.

While Trossard knows they will need to turn those draws into wins, he believes the fight back proves their title credentials.

“It's really well done to the boys to not get our heads down, and keep on working," he said after the match to club media.

“That's how you can even win games as well. We need to take that with us and focus on the next game.

“I'm really pleased [to score], obviously it's nice if you can help the team with either a goal or an assist, and today, that went my way and I'm happy it gave us a point."

On the half-time changes, he added: “It's not easy to have an explanation on that, but we just changed the gear in the second half a bit more.

“We played better, we were more aggressive, and you have to win your duels as well. I think we did better in the second half, and we can score goals like that."
