What were the highlights of Chelsea's victory over Manchester United?
Aspilicueta. Morata! It has been coming. A classic number nines header. Morata back on the goal trail. And Chelsea lead Manchester United 1-0 in the tenth minute of the second half.
Morata the deadly marksman. What a combination. That's becoming with Aspilicueta as well. That goal the difference. Fabregas the man of the match. And both are with Jeff Shreves. Alvaro, Cesc, a fantastic match to watch.
Far more open than many of us thought. Was it more open than you expected? Probably, yes. I think we had plenty of chances, especially in the first half, after we could have killed in the second as well, to be honest. Overall, I think we had a very good performance. But yes, maybe a little bit more open than we expected, to be honest, yes. Alvaro, when you haven't scored for a few games, is that the ideal way to come back a big goal in a big game?
Yeah, it's important, but we won. It's a very important thing and a really important thing. We have a very good chance today to come back to the winning... Two winning ways and we are very happy because now with the international break we can go with three points.
Do you think that's the most important goal you've scored for Chelsea so far?
Yes, for sure.
And it's not the first time that Cesar Azpilicueta has supplied the cross either. Do you have an understanding?
Yes, I told him before the game, I need one today like this, and he made it, and we are very happy.
Cesc, were you surprised how much space you found, particularly in the midfield?
How did Alvaro Morata's performance impact the match outcome?
Well, we prepared the game in a way that we know how they like to defend. They like to close one side and move across. And maybe if we leave the interiors open and we attack in the space, we could create problems. And that's what we did. We had more possession than usual. which for me is something that we've been lacking. Today we had the personality to play, we said it before the game, it's fantastic to defend well and to be a block and stuff, but we need to play, we need to play, we need to have possession. This is a team full of, in my opinion, fantastic players and we need to take advantage of that. And I think we struggled lately maybe a little bit to defend a little bit too much and not have the ball enough.
And today I think we had a lot of the ball. We created chances. We played like a big team. We defended like a big team. And we have to be proud tonight. And do you think because you've struggled recently, there was a real determination in the side? You simply had to win today, not just for the points, but to make a statement. No, in my opinion, you play for Chelsea, for the club, you need to win every single game. There's no bigger game than the other, I understand, for the fans, for the media. Of course it's a big game, don't get me wrong, Chelsea, Man United, it will always be a big game, but you go to any stadium in the Premier League nowadays, it's difficult. We experienced it at Crystal Palace, for example, and you just have to keep going.
Fantastic, as Alvaro said, three points before the international break and now to prepare well these two weeks. Alvaro, as we said, you've got a terrific goal, but should you have had two goals today?
Yeah, but the most important thing is to come back to feel good. I have an injury when I'm at my best fit, and now I'm good right now, and I'm very happy.
OK, one last job for you, because Cesc was the Premier League man of the match. Can you pass this to him, please? Don't look surprised. He won it.
Thank you very much. Thank you.
What tactical changes did Antonio Conte implement for this game?
The match winner looked devastated, didn't he? But it was his crucial intervention that won it for Chelsea. 18 attempts from them today to unite his 10. A flow at the end from United, but eight on target to Manchester United's two. They had twice as many touches in the opposition box today. 14 from United, incidentally, not one of those from their centre-forward Romelu Lukaku. Chelsea won it 4-0 here last year with 44% possession. They've done it 1-0 today with 54%, 471 passes. No individual made more than, says Fabregas, most key passes as well.
