Chelsea boss Conte jokes: Cahill can play as a centre-forward!

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has jokingly claimed that his centre-back Gary Cahill can also play as a centre-forward.

The England international has a knack of scoring important goals, and on Saturday, he scored a crucial late winner for his side in the 2-1 win at Stoke City.

Cahill has now scored six goals in all competitions for the Blues this season.

"Gary can play also as a centre-forward," joked the Italian.

"He has good quality, acrobatic qualities, and he's very good, very strong during the corners and set-pieces.

"I'm pleased for him because we conceded a penalty after the referee saw a little push by Gary and then he found the solution to score the second goal to win."
