Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has no doubt his side deserved all three points against Burnley after they completed a 2-1 win at Turf Moor.

The Blues were under pressure to beat the Clarets to keep their hopes of catching fourth placed Tottenham Hotspur alive and Conte chose to start two strikers in the shape of Olivier Giroud and Alvaro Morata.




Chelsea went ahead in the 20th minute through a Kevin Long own goal, but Ashley Barnes deflected an effort from Johann Berg Gudmundsson into the back of the net in the 64th minute to bring the home side level.

However, parity did not last long as Victor Moses slotted a right-footed effort into the bottom corner of the net just five minutes later to give Chelsea a lead they held on to until the final whistle.
 


The gap to Spurs is now down to five points with four games left to play and Conte is sure his men deserved the win at Burnley.

"We played the game very well and the two strikers worked very well.

"They played a fantastic game with and without the ball.

"The whole team played an intensive game.

"We deserved to win."

Next up for Chelsea is an FA Cup semi-final tie against Southampton on Sunday.
