Chelsea have to 'change style' sometimes to win games: Colwill

Chelsea got back to winning ways in the Premier League after claiming a narrow victory over Tottenham at Stamford Bridge. The Blues bounced back from their defeat to Arsenal at a key moment in the season, as they sit fourth with just eight games remaining.

Blues center-back Levi Colwill highlighted the team's commitment against Spurs, stressing the importance of winning such games to fight for Champions League qualification, even if it means “changing the style” at times.

"We need to win games at the end of the day. we're fighting for Champions League. To win games we have to change style sometimes. We knew they have a high line and we have Nicolas Jackson. He's a huge threat, to feet and in behind and we know if we play to his advantages we'll score goals and today we did score goals through that," he told 'Sky Sports'.

"It was a tough one out there but it meant everything to me, the boys and the fans, especially. The fans were amazing out there. They got us through that I can tell you that. It was giving the Tottenham fans stick and that was what we needed. That gave us the extra 10 minutes, the runs at the end and the boys were buzzing from it. That was amazing," he added.

The 22-year-old centre back also talked about his personal performances this season, bearing in mind that there are high expectations with the potential he has due to his young age.

"Everyone always says I have a load of potential but I don't think potential means anything, you've got to show it every game. This season, at times, I have at times I haven't. I need to keep progressing and learning because I know where I can be and under this gaffer he'll take me there I'm sure," he concluded.
