Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy has sung the praises of manager Thomas Tuchel's impact.

Chelsea has enjoyed an excellent recent defensive record, having kept nine clean sheets in the 13 Premier League games since Tuchel's arrival in January, and the goalkeeper has felt the impact the head coach has had on the team, especially at the back.

"We have good results at the moment with him. He has his philosophy. He knows what he wants for the team and it's a good start for him and for the team right now," said Mendy.

"I don't know if it's a secret, but with him the 11 players have to defend together to be stronger as a team. At the moment it's working, but we have to keep going and continue to work. It's a good thing to have a good defence."
