Chelsea boss Antonio Conte delighted with Moses, Alonso

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte hailed his wing-backs after victory at Southampton.

Marcos Alonso and Victor Moses continue to shine for Blues.

"This role is very important in this system. You must have good stamina and quality to play as wing-backs. I ask my wing-backs to do offensive and defensive work. Moses is a great surprise in this aspect. We know Moses as a winger, but he's playing in a fantastic way. Also Alonso, it wasn't easy to go in to the English league and play in this way, and I'm pleased," said Conte.

"In this role, Pedro also can play, in the same way as Moses. Ivanovic or Aina can play a more defensive role as wing-back."
