From the source
Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso praised Estevao Willian and Romeo Lavia following Saturday’s 2-0 Premier League victory over Manchester United at Stamford Bridge. Second-half goals from Morgan Rogers and Cole Palmer secured three important points for the Blues, who moved back into the top four after a difficult week.
Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez was dismissed after receiving two yellow cards, leaving the visitors with little hope of mounting a comeback. Speaking after the match, Alonso admitted that Chelsea had struggled to establish control during an evenly contested first half.
The changes produced an improved second-half performance, with Chelsea taking the lead before Palmer doubled their advantage. Alonso reserved particular praise for Estevao, who was handed a rare start.
