-
(reporter) A 4-1 victory,
a comprehensive victory,
-
3 points, and up to
[INAUDIBLE] the table,
-
2 points behind
Manchester City--
-
Yeah.
-
(reporter) --which
must be a welcome--
-
not only distraction, but
also a welcome result here.
-
Yeah, it's a massive
result. It's not always
-
an easy place to come to.
-
I think also we had the
result away at Wolves
-
and now coming and doing--
-
doing similar again.
-
So look, we're scoring
goals at the moment.
-
I think the confidence
is high, but often you've
-
always got to keep your feet
on the ground and obviously
-
now going into the
international break
-
and then obviously
coming back and focusing
-
on trying to keep and
maintain these performances.
-
(reporter) Talk to me
about this goal, the one
-
that you scored in the second.
-
It was a brilliant
move, wasn't it?
-
Yeah, I can remember
just heading the ball
-
and then just trying
to get into the box
-
and trying to follow my run.
-
And then it fell to Willie,
and he put me through.
-
So when you're in front
of goal and especially
-
in the Premier League, you've
got to take your chance.
-
You don't have many
chances like that.
-
I had another one,
but I missed there.
-
But yeah, you don't
have many chances.
-
So I just tried to score.
-
And obviously, I was
buzzing with that.
-
(reporter) Buzzing because
this is, of course,
-
a big rivalry for you.
-
You were born and bred on
the other side of Hampshire,
-
and you're back in Hampshire
but at Southampton,
-
where those two don't
particularly get on very well.
-
[LAUGHS] Yeah, I was--
-
I was born not too far away.
-
So yeah, it may be the
extra bit special feeling
-
for me scoring here.
-
But I think the
times I played it,
-
I think I've won every time.
-
So it's been a
good place for me.
-
And obviously, the main
focus is winning today.
-
And we did that.
-
(reporter) Yeah, and
that is something
-
that Chelsea haven't done this
season so far, put back to back
-
Premier League wins together.
-
How important is that?
-
Yeah, very important.
-
I think the main one
was the Brighton game,
-
winning first game
at home, clean sheet.
-
And I thought we built--
we built on that.
-
So yeah, it's obviously
brilliant to get two wins going
-
into the international break.
-
And hopefully, we
can keep this going.
-
(reporter) Off and
away with England now.
-
Are you going to be OK and fit?
-
Because you've got a bit
of strapping on your ankle
-
at the moment.
-
Yeah, I'm fine.
-
It's just precautionary, trying
to keep the swelling down.
-
You always have a little
bit of swelling there
-
when you've had an injury.
-
But yeah, I'm fine.
-
And obviously, having four
boys going from Chelsea,
-
we're looking forward to it.
-
We're buzzing for it.
