Chelsea captain Gary Cahill speaking to BT Sport: "It was decent in the end. I thought we started a bit rusty. We needed that win and to progress is the most important.
"We need to try to reach the final rounds in this having gone out of the EFL Cup the other night so this is very important.
"After the first 10-15 minutes we got on with it. Especially Michy, he took his opportunity today."
