Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho admits he gambled with Cesc Fabregas' fitness for victory at Liverpool.
Mourinho paid tribute to midfielders Fabregas and Ramires as both players played with injuries.
"I know every player was fantastic and some were brilliant but I give you Ramires and Fabregas in particular.
"They both had injuries but risked everything to play and help. Maybe I will lose them for a match or two but this game wasn't in two or three weeks, it was today. This was the game.
"They put themselves there for the team like other players will do in the future because the spirit is fantastic.
"Ramires has been in trouble for a while but he knew we needed him. Fabregas put himself on the line. He gambled. We all gambled. He can't play for Spain. He can go but he will come back."
