Alonso: Chelsea will only get harder and harder to beat

Chelsea new boy Marcos Alonso insists his side are going to be even more difficult to beat as this season goes on, with the Blues now really clicking into gear in the Premier League.

After a 5-0 thumping of Everton at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, Antonio Conte’s side have now scored 16 unanswered Premier League goals – with Arsenal’s Mesut Ozil the last man to breach their defences in the league back in September.

Eden Hazard, Diego Costa, and Victor Moses once again excelled for Chelsea against the Toffees, but Alonso also opened his account for his new club having signed in the summer from Fiorentina.

And the 25-year-old wing back believes if the Blues can keep up that kind of performance, not many sides will be able to block their path.

“We are playing great games – not just scoring goals, but also not conceding. This is the way we have to continue,” he said.

“It’s important to start games well and then we could keep control of the game.

“Overall we have to keep working as we are doing now because the team is playing very well and this is the way we have to follow.

“We have settled well in this system. We are all defending well, all the players are running and helping each other and I think that is the main thing.

“Even if we play four at the back, three at the back, if we all run like this and we all put this passion into the game, I think it’s going to be tough to beat.”
