Extra-time brace from Cesc Fabregas completed a thrilling 4-2 comeback win for Chelsea at 10- man Leicester City in the EFL Cup third round. Chelsea's defence was highly culpable as Shinji
Okazaki ended a 13-game goal drought with two first-half goals for the Premier League champions, but two of Antonio Conte's back four were able to make amends either side of the interval.
Fabregas, who is yet to start a Premier League game under Antonio Conte, told Sky Sports: "The team were fantastic. Hopefully this will shut [up] a few journalists, a few dailies [daily
newspapers], a few whatever who are talking rubbish all the time.
"Let's focus on what is important – Chelsea winning. I am focused on winning and playing well when I have the chance to show what I can do.
"Because I know what I can do and it is a lot for this team."
Cahill's goal atoned for his part in an initially wretched defensive showing, as Chelsea's backline once again creaked without injured captain John Terry.
"We started the game sloppy, so sloppy," said the England centre-back. "I know things are new and we're trying to learn different things but we started the game really sloppy.
"From midway through the first half and especially in the second half you saw what we want to do and the way we want to play."
