LEVI COLWILL accidentally swore live on Sky Sports after securing Chelsea’s return to the Champions League.
The centre-back’s second-half winner at Nottingham Forest sealed a fourth-place finish for Enzo Maresca’s Blues.
And Colwill said: “Everyone has been talking a lot of s*** about us this season.”
The defender let out a smile before joining his Chelsea team-mates in celebrating their Champions League qualification.
Colwill also said: “When I scored, I stayed calm because we still had more minutes to play but I stayed calm and helped the boys.
“What I got taught in the academy is you have to fight. We try to get these clean sheets to win and that’s what we did today.
“We had to win. We knew we had to win and that it wasn’t going to be a hard atmosphere but we did it.
“This club deserves to be in the Champions League.”
Chelsea were contending for the Premier League title before the wheels started to fall off after Christmas.
And at one point, finishing in the top five and earning a spot in Europe’s elite was under threat.
They started the day in fifth, but after Newcastle and Aston Villa were both beaten, Chelsea finished in fourth.
Maresca said: “They grow a lot as a team and a player and they showed how good they are today.
“I hope so, we brought this club where it has to be. We finished sixth last year and most of the time, they forget that.
“The only thing I knew was when Man United scored their second one. They told me 2-0. We didn’t need the rest to drop points, we won.”
