Chelsea interim manager Rafael Benitez has labelled his side "amazing" after their comeback win over Leeds United in the Capital One Cup.

Having gone a goal down, the Blues stormed back to beat the Championship outfit 5-1 at Elland Road on Wednesday night.

The Londoners will now face Swansea City in the semi-finals of the cup, and Benitez believes that it is a great achievement.

"I'm really pleased and really happy," said the Spaniard. "We were coming back from Japan without sleeping too much, which was quite difficult but the performances of the players were outstanding, and not just in the second half.

"I thought the players were amazing because they came back and were so tired, it was really good.

"We've had a lot of positive things in every game. There were some mistakes in some of them but a lot of positives and in this one the reaction of the team and the way that we played in the second half was so good that you could say it was more positive."
