Chelsea boss Liam Rosenior speaking to TNT Sports: “I was delighted for Moises Caicedo to get the goal and the win we deserved. Moi is an outstanding player, a world-class midfield player. We are always a threat on set plays. He is a top player.
"When you play against a low block, your pivot players play higher up and hopefully, he can continue chipping in with goals.
"Of course, you want to score more goals, but the reality is we are in the top eight.
"We have to keep focusing on the job, and that is to win as many games as possible. I can't affect how people judge me, but I am very excited for the future of this club.
"I would like the fans to be with us and with me, but to do that, I need to earn that."
Why no Cole Palmer? “Precautionary, he felt something really, really minor against Brentford. I don’t want to risk any players at this stage, especially of Cole’s quality.”
Related to past groin issue? “No.”
Chelsea goalscorer Moises Caicedo, speaking to TNT Sports: “It was a very important goal for the team, so I’m so happy because the game was so tough. The team was good.
"We got three points and now we're going to enjoy, and we're going to keep going because we have one more game to go."
On scoring a rare header: “Tonight was the night, so I’m so happy.”
On being a leader in the squad: “A lot of people tell me I am a leader. I don’t talk too much in the dressing room, but I like to show on the pitch and in training.”
On playing against a defensive side: “It’s so difficult, but we controlled the game really well, and that was important for us because in every moment we were going to score more goals.”
