"Before today Chelsea were playing as well as anyone in Europe. To come here and win should give our confidence a boost but we realise there's a long way to go yet," said the Reds' vice-captain.
"Their record was never going to go on forever, they were always going to lose at some point, and I'm just glad it was us who managed to beat them.
"We are top of the table but as I said, there's a long way to go. Over recent years Chelsea and United have been towards the top and ourselves and Arsenal are trying to get involved and challenge. Hopefully we can bridge the gap this season."
