ball became chances chelsea control created defense deserved difficult enjoy finish good half hard kept playing points second sheet team top worked
We deserved to finish top because we have more points than the other teams. We done a good job, kept another clean- sheet and created some chances on the counter-attack. It was important for us to control the midfield. However, this became more difficult in the second half when Chelsea started playing long ball but the team worked hard in defense and we must enjoy this moment.

It is not easy to produce performances like this when we have so many players who are tired after so many games.

It is only a possibility that Steven can play.

It is a pity. It was only a few people and most of them did applaud but it is a pity, you can't say anything else.
