AVB delighted with Chelsea passing in victory at Sunderland

Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas was pleased with their performance in victory at Sunderland.

Villas-Boas felt it was the best display of passing they've put in this season.

Villas-Boas said after Saturday's game: "Today, it went very well for us in terms of what we want to achieve, not that we haven't tried to do it before, but it just didn't happen in the other three games.

"Fortunately, today we were able to play the passing game that relates more to how we train, and the team played very, very well. I am very happy with the display.

"The 2-1, of course, is avoidable and that brought an edge to the last three minutes, but we can only say that Chelsea deserved to win and we were very consistent in the first and second halves.

"I am very happy with the efforts of everybody."
