'There's positives': Madueke refuses to concede season despite inconsistent form

"I am not really bothered it didn't turn into a winning goal but our Achilles heel this season has been cashing in on momentum, we had an amazing result [against Manchester United] and we needed to keep it rolling," Noni Madueke told BBC after a 2-2 draw with Sheffield United.

"We should have got the three points today but we have to keep going.

"It will always be tough to come here in the sense that when Chelsea come to town and, no disrespect, when you are fighting for your life you feel you have nothing to lose.

"It felt like a game we should have won and right up to the end it looked like it.

"There's positives, we're in a semi-final, unbeaten run but these are the games we need to grind out. We would have put pressure on the European spots with a win today.

"There still has to be belief we can do it. We need to grind these types of games out and get the three points."

Chelsea are still in the race to qualify for the Europa or Conference League for the next season.

They are also facing Man City in the FA Cup semi-final, as this competition remains the only trophy opportunity in Mauricio Pochettino's first season here.
