“Working on that in training” – Jamie Gittens reveals what he’d been practicing before Burnley win

Jamie Gittens has revealed what he’d been working on in training after Chelsea’s win against Burnley on Saturday.

The Blues ran out 2-0 winners at Turf Moor to make it three wins and three clean sheets in a row in the Premier League.

Pedro Neto and Enzo Fernandez scored the goals, which moved Chelsea up to second after Manchester City lost to Newcastle.

As has been the norm this season Enzo Maresca once again made changes to the team, but not as many in previous games.

Alejandro Garnacho and Estevao both on the bench, whilst Gittens was handed just his second Premier League start of the season.

The 21-year-old now has four assists in his last four starts for the Blues, and no Chelsea player has more across all competitions.

Speaking after the game Gittens was asked about his assist, and revealed it’s something he’d been working on in training.

“I have been working on that in training, and it came off in the game,” he told BBC Match of the Day as cited on X.com.

“I am happy it came off. Pedro got there in the end. We are definitely more confident and more comfortable playing with each other.

“We are going to keep working hard as a team.”

Alejandro Garnacho and Estevao both rested

It was a surprise not to see Garnacho start given he hadn’t been on international duty, and the fact he’d registered four goal contributions in his last four games.

However, it’s clear Maresca might have had half an eye on Barcelona, with the Argentine likely to start on Tuesday night.

It wasn’t a surprise Estevao didn’t start given he played twice for Brazil over the international break, but fans will be desperate to see him start against the Spanish champions, with Maresca facing a difficult decision.
