<\/span><\/p>\n


\u201cYeah, I think preparation is on track, it\u2019s four games in 15 days for us,\u201d Villas-Boas told Sky Sports.<\/em>\u201cThree have gone by and we play this final tomorrow sic against Aston Villa so it gives us also the first taste of Premier League opposition, which is always good.\u201d<\/p>\n

A Frank Lampard penalty put Villas-Boas’ men in the lead, and was followed by a second-half own goal, a Didier Drogba tap-in, and fine finish from Daniel Sturridge to put the game beyond doubt.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet’s continue to build on what we do in training, to see the performance of the players and their commitment and compromise at the moment has been magnificent,“<\/em> Villas-Boas added.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis intensity in the game and the concentration is always a good thing for us and a good signal. Hopefully we can continue to build our preparations for the Stoke game.\u201d<\/p>\n
