Barkley hails Chelsea spirit for Man Utd draw

Chelsea midfielder Ross Barkley hailed their spirit to earn a draw with Manchester United yesterday.

Barkley popped up in the sixth minute of stoppage time to earn Chelsea a 2-2 draw at the end of a dramatic afternoon at Stamford Bridge.

"Our target was three points so it's disappointing, but to stick in and get the draw at the end shows our attitude is good," the midfielder said.

"We've got a brilliant bunch of lads, we're fighters with quality.

"Sometimes things can be a bit low in terms of intensity because of international breaks and things like that, but we went until the end and got a draw. It's brilliant for our confidence to remain unbeaten."
