Edouard
Mendy who is a Senegalese footballer is now the second Chelsea goalkeeper in
history to start with three straight Premier League clean sheets in his career
at Stamford Bridge.
This
is a great development for the top African goalkeeper who has been impressive
since he joined Chelsea from Rennes.
Kepa
Arrizabaga's poor performances in the Premier League and other competitions
forced Frank Lampard and his chiefs to go for the signing of Mendy.
The
28-year-old was said to have been recommended by former Blues' goalie Petr Cech
who was superb during his active playing days in the Premier League.

Mendy was not troubled in the encounter as Burnley forwards were unable beat him in the Premier League tie.
Petr
Cech was the first Chelsea goalkeeper to keep a clean sheet in his first three
Premier League games for the Blues in 2004.
Mendy
has now broken his record and the Senegalese will want to achieve more success
this term with Chelsea.
Meanwhile,
Chelsea are currently occupying fourth position on the Premier League table
with 12 points after seven games played.
