Cucurella delighted with role in Chelsea win at Burnley

Marc Cucurella was delighted being part of Chelsea's win at Burnley.

Cucurella was played at right-back as Chelsea came from behind to win 4-1.

He told the club's website: "The reaction of the team after conceding the goal was very good. We created chances and after half time, we were very focused on what we needed to do.

"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."

On filling in at right-back, Cucurella added: "It's a little bit difficult. Really it depends on the actions.

"The big demands are the same, it's just I'm the opposite side. I try to do my best, help the team, and I think my teammates help me as well. So we need to continue in this way and win games."
