Antonio Conte hails "incredible" Victor Moses performance

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte praises Victor Moses following his "incredible" performance at wing-back during the 2-0 victory over Hull City.

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has heaped praise on Victor Moses following his performance in the 2-0 victory over Hull City at the weekend.

Conte switched to a 3-5-2 formation and deployed Moses in an unfamiliar role as wing-back on the Nigeria international's first start for the club since May 2013.

The former Italy boss hinted that Moses could have a future in the position, while also suggesting that Pedro is another option on that flank.

"Moses played an incredible game in defensive and offensive situations. It is fantastic because he is working very hard. He deserved to play and he showed me that my choice was right," he told reporters.

"Pedro can also play in the same way to give you the opportunity to exploit one vs. one. [Marcos] Alonso played in this role at Fiorentina. This was his first Premier League start [for Chelsea], but in the same way as the other players he must work. He played a good game but he can improve."

Chelsea return to action at home against champions Leicester City after the international break.
