'I am pleased with the team': Pochettino delivers verdict on Aston Villa draw

"The performance was very good and we played really well, it is true in the first half we conceded easy," Mauricio Pochettino told TNT Sports after Chelsea's 2-2 draw with Aston Villa.

"The things we tried to change the team didn't concede too much.

"To play Villa who are fighting for the top four I am pleased with the team and the players were good.

"I think that it was what we expected and today was a good opportunity against a good team.

"Now, we have to move on and it will be in the headlines with the disallowed goal."

Chelsea were rather poor in the first half but, unusually for this season, improved after the break and should've arguably take three points if it weren't for the controversial VAR decision.
