Gary Cahill: Targeting quick response following draw

Chelsea defender Gary Cahill admits a 'convincing win' is needed in order to reignite the Blues' push for the title.

Jose Mourinho's side were held to a 1-1 draw by Southampton at Stamford Bridge on Sunday - failing to capitalise on Manchester City's 1-0 defeat at Burnley - and are now six points clear of the champions with a game in hand.

England defender Cahill is targeting Sunday's trip to Hull as a firm step in the right direction and believes an emphatic victory can restore the confidence lost after the shock Champions League exit to Paris St Germain last week.

I'm sure we'll kick on. Man City dropped points and we picked up another point. Our goal difference is good. It's by far the end of the world, but we're looking for the next result. Gary Cahill

The 29-year-old: "We're desperate... not desperate, it's the wrong word - we're looking for the next convincing win, the next win, to get us back up and running.

"We should be going out playing with freedom and not feeling the pressure. We should be going out and enjoying it. I think that comes with winning games. The next win I'm sure is just around the corner for us.

"We're out the competitions, apart from the Premier League. We can prepare well. A week, which is rare for us, to prepare for the next game, which is important.

"Playing for this club the expectations are so high. We didn't lose the (PSG) game, we drew. All of a sudden everyone's saying 'what's happening here?'

"As players we have to focus on the job in hand and that's the Premier League. I'm sure we'll kick on. Man City dropped points and we picked up another point. Our goal difference is good. It's by far the end of the world, but we're looking for the next result.

"It's a massive opportunity for us this season, everybody knows that. Ten games left to go now and we're in a fantastic position."
