Earlier, Jose Mourinho had praised his defenders after improved performances in recent weeks.
The club endured a tricky start to the season, losing two of their first three matches, but have started to show more consistency.
Mourinho said: ‘I think the team as a team is resolving the defensive problems better than before. I don’t want to say it was Bailly or Jones, and it’s now Smalling or Lindelof.
‘I think the team is more compact, more solid, the spirit, the co-operation, the empathy, the communication, all of that improve in the team.
‘Good results bring confidence and I think we are improving as a team. I don’t want to say our improvement has the name of Chris or Victor. The team is playing better and they are part of the team that plays these matches.’
