- The central midfielder says the loss was difficult to take given there were few goalscoring chances throughout the game
- Mendy believes the Foxes must work hard to bounce back at Southampton on Sunday
Papy Mendy wants Leicester City to react positively following Saturday’s 3-0 Premier League defeat to Chelsea.
A brace from Marcos Alonso and Pedro’s header handed the Premier League leaders all three points in a game that produced few goalscoring opportunities.
While the Foxes fell behind after just six minutes, Ahmed Musa was earlier unfortunate not to open the scoring.
But the London outfit were ruthless going forward and took what limited chances they had.
“It’s a disappointment because we played against a big team in Chelsea,” Mendy told LCFC TV after the game.
“Chelsea played well but we conceded a goal in the first few minutes. It’s very difficult to react after the goal, so the team are not happy.”
Despite the defeat, Mendy felt there were plus points to take from the game, as his side now prepare for a Premier League trip to Southampton on Sunday.
The midfielder added: “It was difficult for us, but everything is not too bad. We will work hard this week for the next game.
“This game is finished, so it’s important now to be concentrated for the next game. It’s important to make a big reaction.”
