๐ฃ๏ธ Liam Rosenior on Chelseaโs 4-2 win over Wrexham [A] in the FA Cup fifth round:
๐ โThat was every reason why the FA Cup is what it is.
โWrexham were magnificent in their energy and how brave they were with their press and how they played. We had to be at a high level. We were pushed all the way by a very good team. We need to find a way to manage games better, but in these Cup ties you can feel the emotion of the game. Theyโre very difficult games to play in.
โWe went 1-0 down early against Aston Villa, we were 2-0 down at half-time against West Ham, we have to find a way not to be in that position, but what the players are showing me, no matter who is on the pitch, is a really good spirit and belief and a determination to win games of football.
โNow we need to keep working, we need to recover because weโve got a big game on Wednesday and we need to start preparing for that.โ

โHis goal was top, his energy levels for 120 minutes were magnificent considering he played a full 90 on Wednesday.
โHeโs in a really good place and itโs really good to see him getting his form at a really important part of the season.โ
