Chelsea defender Gary Cahill insists that the fans will back manager Rafael Benitez if his side can produce more results like their 8-0 win over Aston Villa.

Chelsea defender Gary Cahill believes that the club's supporters would have enjoyed his side's performance against Aston Villa on Sunday.

Chelsea recorded an emphatic 8-0 victory over Villa in the club's best performance since Rafael Benitez controversially replaced Roberto Di Matteo as manager.

Benitez continues to be booed by large sections of the Stamford Bridge crowd but Cahill has insisted that the club's fans will warm towards the former Liverpool boss if Chelsea can continue their form in front of goal.

Cahill told the club's official website: "There won't be one of our fans watching who didn't enjoy our display and hopefully we can continue and I am sure we will win people over with performances like that.

"We needed a reaction from losing the final in Japan which was a big blow for us, and it shows the character in the team that we came back with hardly any rest and got the good result at Leeds and then again on Sunday.

"We showed what we are capable of and it is just a matter of consistency now. We have a lot of young players but on a day like Sunday you can really see the quality in the squad. If we play like that we won't go far wrong."

Chelsea will be looking the momentum generated from Sunday's win when they face Norwich City on Boxing Day.
