Chelsea midfielder Joe Cole was delighted to see some young players get their chance in the Cup win over QPR.

"They were very good," said Cole. "They have a lot of ability in their team especially in midfield. It was a tough game.

"But we had three players coming back from injury and young players who did exceptionally well. It's important Chelsea bring those young players through.

"They have been great with me, I have been training with the reserves the last few weeks and we have a lot of talented young boys now, so it is great that they're out there getting their chance."
