Chelsea boss Liam Rosenior, speaking to BBC Sport: "It’s great, it’s why you come to this club, you want to win trophies, you want to be in big games and I was really happy with the players. Their attitude was top. We scored seven goals and that came from an energy and intensity which I enjoyed.”
On what he said at half-time: “I said play like it’s 0-0, we have to be perfect. I thought the players were outstanding in terms of carrying that out.”
On Estevao: “There is no ceiling for him. We’ve missed him. He comes in and just plays, he wants to get on the ball. Wherever he is on the pitch he’s a threat.”
On winning amid the noise off the pitch: “Football is about football on the pitch. This is a huge club with a lot of scrutiny, a lot of people writing a lot of things. We had a really difficult 10 days but the way we came through is a really good step for the run-in.”
Chelsea goalscorer Tosin Adarabioyo, speaking to BBC Sport: “Very good, great to play some nice football and to get another win and clean sheet at Stamford Bridge. It’s been a two-week break now since our last games which didn’t go so well and we wanted to come back home and put a good result in and that’s what we did.”
On the conversations going into the game: “It’s the FA Cup and anything can happen. We knew it was going to be difficult today if we didn’t do our best. They beat a Premier League team in the last round, so we knew we had to put in a performance.”
On what reaching the final would mean: “That’s the aim, we want to end the season with a trophy. Our aim is to get to the final and win the trophy.”
