"I enjoyed it," he said in his club interview after the game. "To be totally honest, I don’t really care where I play. Wherever the manager wants me to play, I’m happy to do my job.

"Whenever I pull on the Chelsea shirt, I just try to do my best and help the team in any way I can.

"I enjoy playing right-back or centre-back, wherever I’m needed.

"It was a good return for me, for sure. I had many good years here with Leicester so to come back here and get the win with Chelsea, it means a lot. It’s a very good feeling to get the win and head back to London with the three points because we knew this would be a difficult game.

"Playing after the international break is always difficult, especially as the early game, because we have a lot of players away with their nations. So, this was an important win for us. I thought we played very well, it’s a good three points and for sure this is the most important thing.

"The one little negative was conceding at the end - we wanted the clean sheet - but the job was done, and we got the three points to take back to London. That’s the main thing. It keeps us in a good place in the Premier League standings going into a busy period of fixtures and now we just need to keep pushing forward."
