New Chelsea boss Antonio Conte was pleased with the performance of his players as he made his Premier League bow at Stamford Bridge.
A late winner from Diego Costa ensured the Conte era got off to a winning start and the Italian was delighted with his sides’ effort.
The Blues head coach is quoted on the Premier League’s official website: “We deserved the victory because we created a lot of chances.
“Tonight I saw the right intensity and the players always tried to find the situation we did in the training sessions.
“I’m very happy with the attitude and behaviour of the players and to have a great team it’s important to have the right spirit.”
