Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount says key to victory over Aston Villa last night was upping the aggression.
The outcome was the perfect antidote to the weekend loss to West Ham, and Mount saw plenty of improvement from that reverse all over the pitch.
Mount told chelseafc.com: "The West Ham game we didn't make one foul. We knew we needed to up that, with aggression, being on the front foot and winning second balls. I thought we did that. It was definitely a better performance.
"We also knew we needed to start winning more games at home and dominating performances. We did that too. First half I thought we played well, we were on the front foot but that end pass or shot in the final third wasn't going our way.
"Second half we came alive, were attacking them and could have had more goals. It felt easy going forward, the way we were playing kind of clicked. We knew we had to up it and that was the way it went.
"We are focused on trying to win games and trying to stay as high as we can.
"We want to keep pushing, we know where we want to be and where we want to go."
