Jackson and Palmer announced their returns from injury in spectacular fashion, helping Chelsea climb back into the top four. Speaking to reporters after the game, .

"Yeah, now the target is to try to finish where we have been all season," said the Italian head coach. "Because I think all season, probably the first five, six months, because we were second place, we were there, probably the expectation changed a little bit.

"But I think overall, all season we have been top-four, top-five. We have been there. We're going to try our best to finish there. And then, again, in terms of performance, for me every game is different.

"Tonight's performance, probably for you, is better compared with previous performances. In some performances I was also happy, because I know how difficult it is sometimes to break the low block when they sit back."

On Fernandez, Maresca said: "Yeah, no, I think since we started Enzo is improving a lot. His understanding of the game is completely different now. He knows where he has to stay - and knows where he has to arrive in the box.

"And I think most of the goals he scored this season with us is because he was in the right position, even with the international team. The goal was more or less similar. So we're very happy with the way Enzo is improving."
