Zian Flemming's 93rd minute header at Stamford Bridge on Saturday saw Scott Parker's men come away from the capital with a point.

STICKING TOGETHER AFTER GOING BEHIND

“We know at this level, especially against teams like this, games are going to be really hard and obviously you’re not going to just go one or two nil up and just win.

“They go one nil up in what felt like a matter of seconds and as a group we managed to stick together and stay in the game which is very important. We’ve done that quite well over the course of the season, but it’s not always paid off at the end. Now it’s finally paid off because when there is only one goal in it, all it takes sometimes is a red card and a corner kick like today to get you a result.”

STAYING IN THE GAME

“The longer you stay in the game, the more the confidence in our team grew. Maybe on the flip side Chelsea’s mentality changed a little to keep it at one nil rather than make it two nil when we go into the final 20 minutes.

“The red card though is a significant moment in the game because we could really take the game in our hands, go and attack, put them under pressure and I think we did that really well.”

TEAMING UP WITH WARD-PROWSE FOR THE WINNER

“I can’t remember it that well to be honest! He [James Ward-Prowse] hasn’t been here for that long, but everyone knows the quality that he has. From the training sessions and games we’ve had, we know he can put the ball exactly where we want it. He put it right on my head. I had some work to do afterwards, I just focused on that. Got good contact and I saw the ball going in the far corner.”

MOVING FORWARD

“The situation is what it is. We have 11 games left and I think when you are 20 something games into the season you probably are in the table where you deserve to be, even though we feel like we have been close to better results than we have. But in the end in professional sport, it’s about the fine margins.

“Up until now it’s easy for me to say we fell short but it’s not over and it’s not over until it’s over. Even though the gap is big, as long as it’s possible, we go for this hopefully, beautiful football story that everybody, especially in Burnley is going to remember.”
