Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel insists their FA Cup semifinal victory over Manchester City was deserved.
A tightly contest clash at Wembley was settled by Hakim Zyech's second half strike for the only goal of the game.
Tuchel was delighted with Ziyech and Timo Werner on the day: "You can only win against City if you have everybody on top level and the two guys were very good up front with their speed and acceleration, and also the impact that Mason had with the pass.
"Timo and Hakim was the same line-up as against Liverpool where they were also very strong in an away game and a 1-0 victory so I'm happy. On the other side, it has to be absolutely like this. Everybody who is on the pitch has to perform and now is the moment in the season where we cannot drop one per cent. That's the way we want it."
On the clean sheet, he added: "It's well deserved and it makes me very happy that we deserved this and we were not just lucky to escape. We didn't just sit back in the box against City and hope we are lucky to escape but we worked hard for this and you can feel the bond between the team.
"There is a real solidarity and the guys are ready to cover for one another if anyone loses a duel. We wanted to show courage and be brave on the ball, which we did today and I'm so happy."
