Blues star Jorginho has revealed the reason Chelsea find it easier to win in their away matches.

According to the midfielder, Chelsea fight harder on the road, as illustrated by their victories at Tottenham and Arsenal , which has kept up their push for a top-four place.

The Italy midfielder insists the squad must now show the same spirit at the Bridge to qualify for the Champions League, report the Mirror.

He said: “It’s easier away. For mentality, it’s easy because you know you have to fight. Sometimes you go on the pitch, when you play at home, a bit soft and that I think we have to change.

“It’s quite hard to win away, especially when it’s a derby and the feeling is crazy. But now we need to change our minds and win at home as well because we are losing too many points.

“Maybe it’s because you have more space, they are not just defending and they try to play.

“Sometimes we play teams that don’t want to play, just defend and make counterattacks and it’s harder to find space. We need to work hard to break that.

“You should push and break the lines, run more behind the lines. Sometimes we don’t do that, we want to play ball into feet and maybe we could change that. And again I say mentality.”

Jorginho was inspirational in Chelsea’s fightback at the Emirates as the players held their own dressing-room inquest at half-time when they were losing.
