Thomas Tuchel told the media after the win against Fulham (via BBC): "We knew Fulham gives everyone a hard time. They make you under-perform and they make you suffer. You cannot get confused with the table.
"That's why I have the highest respect for what we did today. It was tough for us but we hang in the game. We could decide the match earlier but it was a tough and very important win.
"We were spot on. It was what we demanded from ourselves. We showed the pride we are capable of - to do it in between two big games. I'm beyond happy that we did it. There was no lack of concentration.
"We had some trouble which everyone against this Fulham side has but there was no lack of concentration and that was key."
Edouard Mendy was forced into a couple of good saves but it was Chelsea who ran the show for the most part as we saw off Fulham with ease at Stamford Bridge.
The Blues are now 6 points clear of West Ham in the top 4 (the Hammers do have a game in hand). It was a good day for the club!
