Maxence Lacroix believes Chelsea should have taken something from their Premier League meeting with Arsenal.
The Blues lost 2-1 at the Emirates on Sunday. Kai Havertz and Martin Odegaard scored for Arsenal after Morgan Rogers had put Chelsea ahead in the second minute.
The defeat was Xabi Alonso's first as Chelsea manager, but his team's performance drew praise.
After Rogers's opener, Pedro Neto hit the post and Estevao forced David Raya into a late save. Lacroix, who played the full match, thinks Chelsea deserved more.
"We are a little bit unhappy, of course, after losing, but I believe that we did well to be honest," the French international said.
"We just have to adjust some points. I think it's not easy to play there but we did well."
Lacroix added: "We accept the loss but we want to learn from it. I think it's good to learn about the mistakes and all the wrong parts. We have to go forward and go again.
"I think it was a good start but once they scored it got more and more difficult. But we showed that we also had good actions and good attacks, so the defeat hurts a little bit. We gave our best."
The 26-year-old continued: "I think we deserved more. Luck was not by our side, but we have to accept it. The desire to score, the attitude, was clear. We showed good character until the very end. We deserved the 2-2, but we learned for next time."
