Burnley coach Sean Dyche said ,“One goal affected us massively which is unusual for us, we lost our shape and all the good things that we did in the first-half, and there were a lot of them.
We could have been 1-0 up at half-time, it was a very positive and pleasing display but in the second-half, it wasn’t that we didn’t come out well, we conceded a soft goal and then that affected us, and against these sides you can’t show any cracks in what you are doing as they capitalise and they did.”

After the match Chelsea coach Thomas Tuchel said, ‘We just reminded everybody what we wanted to do, where the spaces were and where we want to find the acceleration. Where we needed to step up was clearly up front. We needed to ask more questions and make life more difficult for the back four.”
The boss on our victory in #BurChe this afternoon! ✊
