Marc Cucurella explains how Chelsea beat Burnley and what they did different to other games

There is a very good feeling inside the Chelsea camp right now off the back of three wins in a row after a tough start to the season.

Chelsea’s players and manager always felt like they were playing quite well and deserving more, yet the results were not coming in the first six matches. And of course, we all know that the most important ‘stat’ in football is the result of a football match, and Chelsea were not winning football matches.

The last three games has been different and the confidence is coming to this group of new players under a new manager in Mauricio Pochettino.

The Blues thrashed Burnley 4-1 on Saturday afternoon and defender Marc Cucurella has been speaking about that game and how they managed to get the win and more importantly, come back from a goal down to turn it around, something they have failed at trying to do in other games this season.

Speaking to the Chelsea website, Cucurella said: “We scored early [in the second half] and then dominated the game. It’s a very good win for us because we were confident and scored a lot of goals.

“In other games, maybe we lose confidence [after going behind], but today we followed the game plan, kept building, and kept fighting. The confidence in the team is better after two wins in a row.

“Today, maybe we got a little bit of luck with the first goal, we’ve not had that in other games. Then we continue. We believe in ourselves and the plan and we have a really important three points.”
