The FA Cup semi-final clash against Crystal Palace was marked by a Ruben Loftus-Cheek midfield masterclass. However, the Eagles head coach Patrick Vieira has piled praise on another Chelsea man.
“In the first-half we were brilliant, but we couldn’t score that goal,” Vieira said, as quoted by Palace’s official website.
“The way they moved the ball in the second half, we ran quite a lot and we got frustrated.
“We started not putting so much pressure on the ball, and Jorginho got more time and it was really difficult for us because then he can make better decisions.
“This is a team that has won the Champions League, the FA Cup – they are on a different level to us. But I’m proud of the way we approached the game and the way we made it difficult for them.
“We have to build on those kinds of performances.”
