Leeds United goalscorer Mateo Joseph was full of praise for two Chelsea players off the back of their clash in the FA Cup last night.
He told their club website that he thought the Championship side actually deserved the win at Stamford Bridge last night, however the Blues’ individual quality shone through.
Joseph scored his first goals for the high-flying Leeds last night, sending the Shed End delirious on multiple occasions.
However, Chelsea showed a bit of character in a tough atmosphere. Goals from Nicolas Jackson, Mykhailo Mudryk and Conor Gallagher were enough to get them over the line and into the quarter-finals.
The assists for two of the goals were particularly interesting, with them coming from sources who many feel don’t get enough of them, Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo.
Joseph was full of praise for the duo after the game, saying that they are two of the best players in their position.

He said: “I think we deserved the win personally. We faced a really strong opponent. They bought a lot of world class players, Enzo and Caicedo, the best in their positions and I’m really happy for our performance here.”
