Premier League: Chelsea and Aston Villa win to boost top five hopes - reaction

Chelsea

Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca, speaking to Sky Sports: "It was quite confident because I know how difficult it is to play against United.

"We expected a very tough game. They played very well. I was completely confident, overall, it was a game that we could have a good moment and score a goal.

"I used to watch five, six, seven games when we play against a team. I have never watched them [Man Utd] so aggressive - they were man to man, and it was very difficult.

"Off the ball I think we played a fantastic game. The team was very aggressive until the end, we tried to press higher, and I think we deserved to win the game.

"It is nice to work on some solutions and then you score.”

On Marc Cucurella: “He is a very good player. It is about timing and being in the right position in the right moment.

“Cucurella is very intelligent and very clever."

On the media scrutiny over Chelsea: “For me, personally the problem is in general, you, the press. You think it is the same Chelsea from years ago. It is not the same.

"I don’t think since I am here, we are expecting more money than other clubs. It is about building something important. People have to trust us - we are going in the right direction."
