Martin Dubravka makes Burnley vow after Chelsea defeat sees them drop into bottom three
Martin Dubravka vows he and his Burnley teammates will stick together after dropping into the Premier League’s relegation zone.
The Clarets fell to 19th in the table after suffering a third straight defeat at the weekend, as Chelsea ran out 2-0 winners at Turf Moor.
While Scott Parker’s side were competitive and put up a spirited display, it ultimately wasn’t enough – which has been a running theme of Burnley’s season whenever they’ve come up against one of the league’s biggest and better sides.
While Dubravka spoke of his frustration at the results, he believes there were plenty of positives to take.
“We’re disappointed,” he told Burnley’s official YouTube channel.

“We worked so hard to get the result, but unfortunately they score the first goal. We tried to chase and we created some half chances, but unfortunately they punished us in the last minute.
“It’s frustrating because you really try, you push and you don’t get the result.”
The 36-year-old added: “If you don’t score the goals, that’s obviously a disappointment. But we’re winning together and we’re losing together, so we stick together.
“Obviously we need the points, because we’re in a position where every point counts. But we showed a bravery, we tried to show our quality as well.
“They let us play, I have to say, so there were a few good bits. But we were playing against a good side and it’s always difficult.
“There were loads of positives, but again we didn’t get the result.”
