Chelsea attacker Noni Madueke says manager Mauricio Pochettino was key to their fight-back at Aston Villa yesterday.

The Blues came from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 on the day.

Madueke said today: "We were playing well in possession but weren't really threatening the goal as such, so the gaffer tweaked it and Marc [Cucurella] went inside and we kind of had four in the middle, so that we could commit more players forward.

"I feel like a lot of the times in the second half we were attacking with five on the last line, as opposed to the first half when it was just me, Nico [Jackson] and Misha [Mudryk] or Cucu on the left.

"So credit to the gaffer for the tweak, it made it easier to play through and we implemented it well, so credit to ourselves as well."
