"The reason why Chelsea were better is that they got Alonso and James higher up the pitch," he said. "They were more involved.
"James was magnificent in the second half, he gave Benjamin Mendy a horrid time. His pace and quality got Chelsea up the pitch.
"They couldn't handle him.
"It was three or four occasions that he did that in the second half. He pulled everyone up with him.
"Chelsea were prepared to gamble and that was the big difference, it's a big win for them."
