Burnley ace Brady: Chelsea are a 'fantastic side' but we responded well

Burnley ace Robbie Brady heaped praise on his teammates for their resolute performance in the 1-1 draw with Premier League leaders Chelsea at Turf Moor on Sunday.

The January signing from Norwich City was particularly impressed with the manner in which the Clarets responded to Pedro's early strike in the game.

Brady put his side on level terms with an impressive 24th-minute free-kick to give the Clarets a well-deserved point.

"It's always good to see a response, especially after they started so fast and opened us up with an early goal," he told BurnleyFootballClub.com.

"We bounced back and it was a good reaction from the lads.

"They are a fantastic side, one of the best in world football, so we knew it would be difficult.

"But the lads are so well drilled. We looked really assured and saw the game out well.

"It's a fantastic dressing room here. You can see the togetherness they have on the pitch. They are willing to work their socks off for each other and that led to another great result.

"We just want to keep on building on previous results we've had, especially here.

"The fans get behind the team 100 per cent and make it difficult for anyone coming.

"We want to get to a comfortable enough position. We are on the right track and we need to keep it going."
