Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy has said "hard work" was behind his performance against Brentford.
The Senegalese produced a world-class effort to help Chelsea claim a 1-0 away victory.
"I am happy with how I performed," Mendy told the club's website
"It's down to hard work. I prepared during the week with my team-mates and coaches to help the team, and I was able to do that.
"We knew we were coming up against a very difficult team. They have shown that since they got promoted to the Premier League, especially at home against Arsenal and Liverpool. That makes it a really good result.
"It was very hard. There was so much intensity in the game, and a great atmosphere. We had to suffer and we suffered together. We passed the hurdle together. It's a positive and now we need to build on this momentum in the Champions League."
