Liam Rosenior has just taken his post-match press conference after Chelsea’s big win over Aston Villa, and he was of course asked about Alejandro Garnacho’s form.

The winger hadn’t had a start in the league since the West Ham game where he was taken off at half time, so it was a great opportunity for the manager to praise his young charge:

“When you’re professional, you do everything right on the training pitch and take it onto the pitch,” Rosenior said.

“The intensity he has trained at, it’s no coincidence he’s played like that today. I love how unselfish he was to set up the goal for Joao.”
