Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior: “I’m happy that Moises Caicedo scored the goal and gave us the victory we deserved.

“Moi is an outstanding player, a world-class midfield player. We are always a threat on set pieces. He is a top player.”

“When you play against a low block, the pivot player plays high, so hopefully he can continue to score goals.

“Of course you would like to score more goals, but the reality is we are in the top eight.

“We have to stay focused on our job and that is to win as many games as possible. I can’t influence how people judge me, but I’m very excited about the future of this club.”

“We want our fans to be with us and with me, but in order to do that we have to earn it.”

Why no Cole Palmer? “Careful, he felt something really, really naughty against Brentford. You don’t want to risk a quality player at this stage, especially Cole.”

Could it be related to past groin problems? “no.”
