After the game, the former Villarreal star lauded his team’s effort while focusing on their next fixture against Crystal Palace.
“It was a crazy game today,” Chukwueze said post-match.
“We conceded goals we shouldn't have conceded but I liked the spirit of the team for the comeback.
"The chances we created in the second half were almost there. It was a difficult one to take because we wanted three wins in a row and it didn't happen, but we'll keep our heads up. We fought until the last minute and on Sunday (against Crystal Palace) we're going to give everything for the fans.”
