Remy: Chelsea depth too strong for rivals

Loic Remy has hailed the strength of Chelsea's squad after their midweek win over Tottenham.

The home side won the game despite being without top scorer Diego Costa due to suspension, but back-up forwards Didier Drogba and Remy scored in his absence.

Remy said: "We know the quality of Diego - he can score and is a really good striker. We like the way he's playing.

"But this was a real opportunity for Didier and for me, to show we can win without Diego.

"We need everybody. The squad is really strong and that makes the difference between us and the other teams.

"We will keep going to try and keep the distance from our closest opponent. It's six points and that's really good. We try to continue in this way."
