Alonso delighted to score winner against Man City after 'tough season' at Chelsea

Marcos Alonso said he was delighted to score the winner against Manchester City after enduring a "tough season" at Chelsea.

Raheem Sterling's opener was cancelled out by a fine Hakim Ziyech volley before Alonso sealed all three points for the Blues with a stoppage-time strike, and he outlined his ambition to nail down a spot in Thomas Tuchel's line-up after the game.
