A last minute winner gave Chelsea a scarcely deserved three points - continuing a run of good fortune for the Londoners in the competition.

"I think in terms of the timing of the goal you could agree there was an element of luck because it was the last action of the game but when you get a win against such a good team as them you deserve it," di Matteo said.

"It was a game we needed to win and we achieved that under a lot of pressure. We need to get something out of our last games now."
