Chelsea boss Roberto di Matteo says Gary Cahill's stunner at Tottenham was no surprise.

Cahill thumped home a volley to open the scoring in the five goal thriller.

He told chelseafc.com: "It's not the first time they played together, I had no concerns. I thought Ramires and Mikel did excellent as well in midfield, they had a lot of quantity but also quality, and obviously we were a good attacking threat.

"Cahill shows that in training, he's always involved when we do finishing exercises and you can see he has got good technique. It's important when you want to play out from the back that we have defenders who are comfortable in possession.

"We have a good squad which I'm happy with and every time a player comes in they have performed well. We have a good base and are able to make two or three changes without noticing too much."
