Mata insisted United deerved to win in west London and was happy with his team-mates' displays at his old stomping ground.
"We played very good football," Mata said. "Coming to Stamford Bridge and playing the football we did, we had it so close but Chelsea always try to push and they scored a late goal.
"When you win and play good football confidence comes back. We try our best in every game and in the last three or four I thought we played really well."

Lingard added: "To concede late on it is like a defeat but we have to move on to the next game. We are playing a lot better now. As a collective group we are doing well."
