Chelsea boss Antonio Conte: Big win and a big result

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte was thrilled with their win at Manchester City.

He saw his team come from behind at the break to eventually run out 3-1 winners at the Etihad, the goals scored by Diego Costa, Willian and Eden Hazard.

Conte told Chelsea TV: "It's a big win and a big result against a really strong team.

"With the quality of players in their squad I think it's the most complete in this league. For this reason, I am pleased with the result, and with the players. They showed me great character.

"We were lucky at the start of the second half because there was one crossbar, and also a good save from Thibaut kept the result at 1-0.

"Then we found great strength to score the goal to draw, and then to score the second goal and the third goal.

"It's fantastic this because I repeat, it's not easy to come here and win this game. Now we have to continue."
