"I am very pleased with the performance and the result; we could have played below our capabilities, but the guys showed how professional they are, and that’s how it should be. They know that if they don’t work properly, they won’t play. We try to rotate the squad, and today it was the turn of the young players. Achimpong and George are still very young, but we are happy with them." Head coach of Chelsea, Enzo Maresca
After the victory over "Shamrock," "Chelsea" extended their winning streak to eight games. Overall, the Londoners have not lost in their last 11 matches, starting from October 30, when they lost away to Newcastle in the FA Cup (0:2).
