After destroying every other team that has come Chelsea’s way, the Blues have only won the last 3 games by a goal margin, and Courtois believes it’s down to how much the smaller teams defend, while revealing that they are hard to break.

The Chelsea first-choice goalie said: “This week was good because we played against smaller teams but they defend well and it’s hard to break them down. To win all three games 1-0 is very good and we’re happy. We now have two home games in front of our fans so we need to win them both.”
