Plymouth attacker Gillesphey: Good to test ourselves in Chelsea defeat

Plymouth Argyle attacker Macaulay Gillesphey says they can be proud after their FA Cup defeat at Chelsea.

Gillesphey put Plymouth ahead before Chelsea won in extra-time 2-1.

He later told PATV, “I thought we had a chance for a second.

“It was a great shift from everyone, from Coops all the way through everybody played their part.

“It says a lot about us as a team and what we're about.

“It was good to test ourselves against them.

“They are quality players and have great ability, you can really see the Premier League and Champions League standard.

“It wasn't to be, who would have known what would have happened if we had held out and taken it to penalties.

“Whatever happened, it's still an unbelievable experience."
