Jorge Jesus on his side's 5-2 win on Monday night

Jorge Jesus was understandably with his side's dismantling of Belenenses this Monday night, with a convincing 5-2 win.

"The lads are in great form. We are in the fight and we will be until the end of the season", opened the Alvalade boss in an interview at the final whistle, adding: "We are in our best form at this stage of the season and we looked really dynamic in the first-half. We were quick and showed a lot of technical ability. Belenenses struggled a bit and we could have scored more than give. It was almost perfect, but I didn't like the goals we let in. This team cannot concede like that, but in attack we were almost perfect."

Commenting on what is one of the tightest title races for years, the Sporting coach analyzed: “We have been in first and now we are chasing first. The Portuguese league is not an easy one and you saw that in the result that one of our rivals had today. We believe we can get first place back, because we have been the best team throughout the season. We showed what we can do today against a good and well structured team."
