Jonny Evans hailed Manchester United's character for their win at Chelsea.

United won 3-2 against a Chelsea team which finished the game with nine men.

"I think that's probably the hardest game we've had this season, especially towards the end of the first half," the defender told Sky Sports. "Chelsea really came at us and put the pressure on us. It was a tough game and we were probably lucky to see it out to 2-1 at half-time.

"Going in 2-1 up was great because it was a bit of an onslaught at that stage, but you've got to show character in games like this. We came out for the second half and you've got to stand up coming here to Stamford Bridge.

"It's a tough game, we knew we were going to be under pressure. They got the equaliser and obviously the sending offs are in-between that, and we managed to finish the game off in the end."
