Mauricio Pochettino hailed Chelsea following their 3-2 FA Cup success over Leeds and took the opportunity to hit back at Gary Neville's criticism of his team's character. The Sky Sports pundit branded Chelsea 'blue billion-pound ­bottle jobs' following their Carabao Cup final loss to Liverpool. 'With all my love to Gary, it is not fair to use this type of word [bottling] for a team that is so brave and a club that always shows it fights for big things,' Pochettino said after his side fought back to reach the quarter-finals. 'What can we do? Now, only with this type of performance, show that we are brave, can win games'.
