Noni Madueke:

'Thiago and the Gaffer said some things [at half-time] that kind of got us going a bit. We were playing good football, but it was just a bit lethargic in and out of possession.'

Noni Madueke:

'With time, it will click. There are definitely some promising signs. We just need to keep working...'

Noni Madueke:

'On our day and at our best, we're a very good side. It's just about that consistency. Of course, it's a really young squad with a lot of players playing in the Premier League for the first time...'

What are your thoughts on the VAR decision to rule out Axel Disasi’s stoppage time goal, Blues?

Mauricio Pochettino on Moises Caicedo:

'Not only Moi, but I thought the whole team was good. But Moi was also good.'

Mauricio Pochettino on summer plans:

'We need to assess the players and to project for the future, but that is a thing the owners, sporting directors and us, we will need to talk. We are open to talk and see when we talk.'

[via Bobby Vincent]

Mauricio Pochettino:

'The referee didn't see the action. But then the VAR changed the decision. If the referee is saying he was fouled and then goes to check and sticks with the decision, okay no problem. But he didn't say it was a foul...'

Mauricio Pochettino:

'We started the game and conceded, it was difficult to manage. We deserved to win but I am pleased we were able to perform against a team in a very good position and show we can compete in this way.'

Mauricio Pochettino on Thiago Silva:

'A pain in his groin. Similar to the injury he got at Crystal Palace.'

Mauricio Pochettino:

'Damaged myself, damaged my team, my players, my fans.'

Noni Madueke:

'It's a process. I'm proud of the team today. We beat them here earlier in the season as well. We wanted to come here and win but it wasn't to be.'

[via BBC Sport]

Noni Madueke:

'We need to play better at times in phases of the game. We have an abundance of quality and when we fire we're a match for any team. The last game was terrible. For 70 minutes today the team were outstanding.'

[via BBC Sport]

Noni Madueke:

'Should it have been three points? Yes. Do I think the goal should have stood? Yes. Nothing else to say about the situation.'

Mauricio Pochettino:

'The performance, overall, was really good. We dominated the game. In the first half, we conceded two soft goals. To come here and play against Aston Villa... very pleased with the performance.'

[via Football on TNT Sports]

Mauricio Pochettino:

'I am not frustrated. I am relaxed and calm. I don't want to say anything wrong. I say 'look, that was a goal'. What can we do?'

[via Football on TNT Sports]

Mauricio Pochettino:

'[The referee] said that it was a foul. If you see the challenge... what happens if every single challenge like this is a foul? We would never finish with 11 players. That's the difficult thing to understand.'

[via Football on TNT Sports]

Mauricio Pochettino:

'Two weeks ago [against Man City], it was handball and it was not a penalty. It's [VAR] damaged English football for me, damaged the image.'

[via Football on TNT Sports]

Mauricio Pochettino:

'I think everyone that was watching the game feels disappointed. When the referee sees nothing and then goes with VAR to change. I'm going to say nothing bad... it's unbelievable, it's ridiculous. It's difficult to accept.'
