Victor Moses was on the score-sheet as Chelsea beat Leicester City 3-0 at Stamford Bridge yesterday and coach Antonio Conte said Moses was a valuable asset.

Moses had missed international duty with the Super Eagles during the World Cup qualifiers against Zambia. He was said to be injured but yesterday he tucked in the third goal after Diego Costa and Eden Hazard had put Chelsea ahead in the match they totally dominated.

Conte said: “When I arrived at Chelsea I told the club I wanted to see Victor in pre-season because I knew him very well and I knew about his great potential.

“He’s a very good player, now he’s playing as a wing-back and it’s fantastic”

“He played well as a winger when we were playing with a 4-2-4.

“He’s a very good player, now he’s playing as a wing-back and it’s fantastic because he pays great attention in defence and can go one against one in attack.

“Alonso always played this role but Moses is a winger. His education is fantastic. I’m pleased for him.

Conte added that his side deserved to win the match. “It was a good game. From the start I asked them to play well with intensity and to try to do what we are doing in training.

“I am very happy because I had a good reply. This is the best game for us. I saw good commitment. When you work hard it is important to have a good performance.

“In the week, we tried a lot to find a solution that gave us more compactness. For this team and squad this system is the right fit. The coach must understand and find the right suit. We are like a tailor.”
