Cole Palmer:

"Good. We got three points but started slow. We knew we'd create chances and thankfully we won."

Cole Palmer on his #Chelsea team-mates:

"Good squad morale. Everyone's getting on. We've won five in a row. Hopefully we can keep winning."

Cole Palmer on comeback vs Spurs:

"We knew they [goals conceded] were just two mistakes. He [Cucurella] slipped. You can't do anything about it. They didn't create much apart from our mistakes."

Cole Palmer on his penalties vs Spurs:

"[The first one], well I just tried to score, and I did. [The second one] I stepped back and knew I was going to do it so I did [panenka]."

Cole Palmer on #Chelsea fans:

"They've had a tough couple of years. A few years before I got here and last season was tough as well. To see them happy, smiling, singing and enjoying it is what we play for."

Enzo Maresca:

"We deserved to win [vs Spurs]. First half we concede two goals and continued with the plan on and off the ball, mentally we were strong. We completely deserved to win the game. Very impressed from the guys."

Enzo Maresca on Spurs win:

"Overall, even the first half we were in control. Two moments we conceded two goals. We scored one and could score more then second half we were very good and created chances."

Enzo Maresca on #Chelsea's mentality:

"Not only [against Spurs]. Since we start I am very happy with all of them. Until the final whistle the game is always open, is there. For the effort we did 90 minutes, to concede in last five minutes is normal."

Enzo Maresca:

"We're very happy that the fans are here with us and can enjoy the moment."

Enzo Maresca on Jadon Sancho:

"[I'm impressed] but not only with him on the ball, also the way he is defending. Him, Pedro Neto - it is not just about goals and assists, it's about the way they work off the ball."

Enzo Maresca on Cole Palmer:

"We are happy, not only with the goals. He is learning how to play against teams very tight to him. He's doing fantastic."

Enzo Maresca:

"I really like the connection with the [#Chelsea] fans because I'm convinced we need our fans at home and away. Against Brentford, we need them with us. All together we can win and do something important."
