Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel praised his side as they leapfrogged Leicester into third place with a 2-1 win over Brendan Rodgers' team.
Speaking after the win - which goes a little way to make up for their FA Cup final loss to the same team on Saturday - Tuchel told the BBC: "It was a strong performance and well deserved performance. No time for celebration, the job is not done yet, two more games to go. Very happy to play in front of supporters, it was a huge difference today.
