EIGHT

"Eight wins is definitely within this team's capabilities.

"If you can get points you don't believe you are getting, it is always nice.

"I know for a fact Chelsea were watching it. For us, it is a statement towards them that we are quite determined not to let it slip.

"It was a very important three points. They are the matches that decide whether we will be champions or let Chelsea back into it.

"To score three minutes before the end, that is exactly what we needed on a tough afternoon.

"It is always nice to have a nine-point lead. Chelsea have a match in hand of course but they have to win it. The bigger amount of points you can get between each other that is nice.

"But we are not going to cheer too early. There are still 10 games and 30 points left. We just keep going game by game.

"Fulham played very well throughout the whole game. In the first-half we were the better team but they came at us in the second-half and created three or four chances. We could easily have been 2-1 down and then it would have been hard.

"But we kept going and in the last 15 minutes, we got a bit more possession and some movement up front. Well done to Cristiano with his magnificent run and goal.

"We have individuals who can do things like that. If we keep performing as a team that extra quality comes around sooner or later."
