Chelsea defender Gary Cahill says they didn't miss Diego Costa for victory at Leicester City.

Cahill has claimed the side were not lacking in Costa's absence, because of the attacking quality they possess in the squad.

"Diego is a massive player for us," Cahill said.

"He wasn't there today but we put Pedro, Hazard and Willian up there instead and it is hard to defend against talent like that.

"We are delighted with that result.

"That was a very professional solid performance by us after the Spurs game.

"We prepared well and deserved that. We had to prove it, it is all about bouncing back, and I'm proud that we produced a performance like that."
