Antonio Conte is very happy that Chelsea managed to give a response to the 1-0 defeat against West Ham in their last Premier League game.
Chelsea were poor in the game against the Hammers, but a 3-1 win against Huddersfield is exactly what the team needed. An impressive performance from all the players means that Chelsea are now joint second with Manchester United, trailing only on goal difference.
Conte was happy with the result and performance: "From the start we showed great personality and great desire to win this game, against a really good team," he said.
"Don't forget Huddersfield won against Manchester United, and Manchester City struggled a lot before winning in the last six minutes, so we must be very happy with the performance."
"We have to continue trying to play this type of football, because tonight I think my players enjoyed playing this type of football, dominating the game, creating many chances with great combination play between our strikers. I enjoyed a lot seeing my players play this football."
Despite the three goals and a very impressive performance to get the win, Conte was not fully satisfied with his team. He was not happy at conceding a goal after being 3-0 up.
"I saw a lot of positive things. I also saw one negative thing, conceding the goal at the end of the game. We must improve in this aspect, because keeping a clean sheet is always important for our goalkeeper, for our defenders, for the whole team. This is the only negative aspect on a good night for us," he stated.
Now Chelsea have a chance to get back-to-back wins, with a home game against Southampton at the weekend.
