Conte appluads 'fantanstic' Moses after Hull win

Antonio Conte was impressed by an "incredible" performance from Victor Moses after Chelsea picked up all three points with a 2-0 victory over Hull City on Saturday.

Diego Costa and Willian’s goals got Chelsea back to winning ways, while they also maintained a clean sheet for the first time in four matches as Conte began with a 3-4-3 formation for the first time at his new club. 

Moses made his first league start for Chelsea since May 11 2013 and Conte picked out his make-shift wing back as one of the top performers against the North Yorkshire club. 

“I think Moses played an incredible game,” Conte said. “In defensive situations and offensive situations because he is working very hard and he deserved to play. 

“He showed me that my choice was right today. If he plays in this way and is fantastic [he can keep his place in the team]. I think that Pedro can play in the same way and give you the opportunity to exploit defenders one-versus-one.

“We do not only want wing backs who cross, but if we have a winger who is able to do this role then it is a great option.”

Branislav Ivanovic found himself left out of the starting eleven in the league for the first time this season, with Chelsea’s new £23 million signing Marcos Alonso taking his place.
