Chelsea hero Cole: Perfect performance for victory at Liverpool

Chelsea hero Ashley Cole was full of praise for their win at Liverpool last night.

Mason Mount's exquisite strike just before half-time was the difference between the two teams as the Blues inflicted a fifth consecutive home loss on Jurgen Klopp's struggling side.

"I think it was a perfect performance," Cole told Sky Sports.

"I thought they showed a lot of bravery and again to go to Anfield... for me one of the best performances I've seen Chelsea play in terms of playing out from the back, brave, calm on the ball.

"And then obviously sticking to the game plan of that ball over the top, it worked a treat tonight... they will take a lot from this game, they'll be high on confidence."

Cole admits the players have taken to their new coach quickly.

"It's the German style, when they press you've got the outlet, running in behind," Cole added.

"They've taken to him very quickly. He's been concise in what he wants. A different style to Frank, but with the same personnel."
