Chelsea defender Gary Cahill was pleased with victory over former club Bolton Wanderers.

Cahill enjoyed his partnership with David Luiz.

"I think it was a deserved win, we had a lot of possession in the first half but they were tight and they frustrated us," admitted Cahill to chelseafc.com. "It was important for us in the second half that we kept on pushing and I always thought that if we got the first goal we could go on from there, and thankfully we did that.

"It was a fantastic goal by David Luiz, he's one of the best centre-backs with the ball at his feet that I've seen, I thought he was fantastic, it was a great goal and fully deserved. It didn't surprise me when he cut inside and bent it in, it was a fantastic finish.

"We're obviously working together in training, getting to know each other, especially with different languages and things like that, it takes a bit of time to come together but I was pleased, I thought it worked well."
