Pochettino insists Chelsea proving they're top 4 team

Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino insists they're a top four team after victory at Nottingham Forest.

The Blues won 3-2 thanks to two late goals.

Pochettino said: "The best thing is the way that we always believe until the end, football is about fighting. I am pleased because the players from the bench made a big impact so I am happy with our recovery. It was important for the team to finish the season strong, with the hope to start next season really well.

"If we are honest we were punished in our first 10 games. Our performance was good but we were not clinical and we wasted big chances. All the data said we were in a false position. After we beat Tottenham, in the last 24 games we are in the top four or five.

"I want to be positive, that is important. The players believe in the way that we work. We have struggled in these type of games but this young team need to realise how we need to compete."
