EPL: David Luiz explains why Chelsea played 0-0 against West Ham

Chelsea defender, David Luiz has explained why his side played 0-0 against West Ham United in the Premier League fixture on Sunday.

The Blues struggled to find a way past West Ham’s stubborn defence, and were forced to settle for a point following a goalless draw.

Luiz, however, said the Stamford Bridge club drew against the Hammers because Maurizio Sarri’s men were slow in moving the ball and didn’t create a lot of chances which made them not to score goals.

Speaking on why his side drew with West Ham, the Brazilian international told Chelsea’s official website, “Of course we are disappointed.

“We didn’t play a fantastic game, we didn’t create a lot. It was too slow, moving the ball to create the gaps or our movements without the ball, and that is why we couldn’t score.

“I think our plan is fantastic. On Sunday we didn’t play at our high level so that is why we didn’t win.

“We know that many teams now are going to play against us this way, with a low block and trying to play on the counter-attack, so there was not a lot of space but it is up to us to try to find a solution.”

The result against West Ham means that Chelsea are now third placed on the Premier League table, two points behind league leaders, Liverpool.
