Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel was left delighted after their 4-0 win at Burnley.
The Blues had 10 shots on target in the second period compared to just one before the break, illustrating how they stepped it up after the interval and scored through Reece James, Kai Havertz, twice, and Christian Pulisic.
As well as making a tactical tweak in midfield, the German revealed what was said in the away dressing room to instigate such a change in fortunes.
"It was very calm," he said during his post-match press conference at Turf Moor. "We just reminded everybody what we wanted to do, where the spaces were and where we want to find the acceleration. Where we needed to step up was clearly up front. We needed to ask more questions and make life more difficult for the back four.
"The goal opened the game for us and gave us a lot of belief and confidence. Our attacks were then more fluid and we were absolutely more decisive.
"On the one hand, it was difficult because the pitch was so dry. We had a lot of ball possession but it was difficult to accelerate the game. The ball was somehow always stuck between our legs and once you pass it, it's already one second too late and the spaces are already closed.
"We had a bit of a switch in tactics to give Kante more space and to have two strikers on the pitch. The team did very well, we kept on believing and had a fantastic second half and a brilliant result."
