STARTING XI:
Sanchez - 7: Iffy distribution in fhe first half kicking it out of play needlessly, but did his job well in the second half coming for crosses.
James - 7: Produced a huge showing defensively, doubled up well on Morgan Gibbs-White and got stuck in when needed.
Tosin - 8: Made eight headed clearances, was solid defensively and even on-the-ball in first half initiating attacks.
Colwill - 8: Made a couple silly fouls when stepping out but got the all-important goal. Showed great leadership too at times.
Cucurella - 8: Didnโt give up with constant pressing until the last minute, immense again.
Caicedo - 7: Picked up a silly yellow but had a solid first half winning the ball countless times.
Enzo - 5: Looked lost throughout and fatigued in second half, technically lacking again.
Sancho - 6: Did nothing special, closing down was poor and passive.
Palmer - 7.5: Dropped too deep on occasions in the first half. Created two chances and shouldโve had an assist from Neto.
Madueke - 7: Lacked a little defensively but did well getting out of tight spaces. Couldโve done better 1v1 though.
Neto - 6: Didnโt find much luck, often isolated when chasing onto long balls. Shouldโve scored first half but picked up a huge assist for Colwillโs goal.
SUBSTITUTES:
Lavia - 7: Came on and provided much needed defensive balance.
Gusto - 6: Useful outlet out wide but didnโt manage to have much of an impact.
Dewsbury-Hall - 7: Wasnโt on for long but made a huge clearance in the dying seconds to prevent a possible equaliser.

Levi Colwill to skysportsfootball on earning qualification for the Champions League:
โWeโre back where we should be. The boys get to prove ourselves. Everyoneโs been talking a lot of s*** about us, but weโve done it.โ

Enzo Maresca on Chelseaโs 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest [A] in the Premier League, which saw the Blues finish 4th and qualify for the Champions League:

โIโm very happy for many reason. First of all because I think the players deserved it. Since day one they have been working hard. The club, the players, the sporting directors, weโve all been going in the same direction.
โWe have our way, we want to reach results in the way we want to play. I think today the players were top because we also adjusted a bit how to work off the ball. This environment here today was not easy to play in but they dealt with that very good.
โI think from January on we played many good games, even if not many in the media were saying that, and today we achieved an important target for this club so we are happy.โ
๐ช ๐๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ ๐๐ฆ๐ ๐ญ๐จ๐๐๐ฒ:
โIt was very tough. [Manchester] City lost here, Arsenal drew here, Liverpool drew here, and Chelsea won. It is not easy. The players showed how good they are, the effort they have put in.
โWe are in a business where people will judge us because of the results and probably today if we were not able to win the game some people would judge our season to be a disaster. But it was not a disaster, Iโve said many times before, this season was already good.
โWe have gone from 12th three years ago and sixth last year to fourth this season, with the youngest squad in the history of the Premier League. So Iโm very happy.โ
