Enzo Fernandez scoring a stunning free kick in the second half; Conor Gallagher and Nicolas Jackson had scored as Chelsea dominated the first half at Villa Park; Moussa Diaby scored late reply; Chelsea will host Leeds in the FA Cup fifth round

Mauricio Pochettino says Chelsea are not the same team they were from 20 years and people must “move on” after he lauded “one of the best” performances of their season.

The Blues were 3-1 winners against Aston Villa in their FA Cup fourth-round replay at Villa Park, which set up a home time against Leeds in the fifth round in the week commencing February 26.

And in his post-match press conference, Pochettino launched a staunch defence of his players after he was questioned about Fernandez’s goal celebration.

He said: “We need to stop this thing that we are Chelsea from 20 years ago. We are not this type of Chelsea anymore. Now we need to move on and we need to create this project.

“We need to move on, I don’t care if people are happy or not happy with my speech. I care for the club, I care for my players, I want to help the players.

“We are going to fight, I don’t care what the people say. I’m not more sad or happy today after a win because we have experience, this type of project needs time and trust.
