We don't fear any team, says Burnley's cup hero Jensen

The Clarets could face one of five top flight teams in the last eight, including fierce rivals Blackburn Rovers or European champions Manchester United, as reward for beating last season’s finalists in Wednesday’s penalty shoot-out.

But after their monumental Stamford Bridge scalp, which Jensen classed as the biggest achievement of his career, the Danish goalkeeper’s message was simple: Bring it on!

“Everybody wants Man-chester United, but we’ll take anybody,” he said.

“We’ve come so far now and achieved something unbeliev-able, so anybody will do because we know that anything’s possible in football.

“And when we see our name come up in the draw again that will be unbelievable.”

And Jensen admitted he was still pinching himself after causing the biggest cup shock of the season so far.

“It still hasn’t sunk in yet. That’s the biggest result of my career,” he said.

“I’m speechless. I came out of the dressing room and had five missed calls and 12 messages on my phone.

“It's a big scalp and probably the biggest achievement in my career.

“I'm so happy.”

But Jensen admitted he fancied the Clarets' chances on penalties after Ade Akinbiyi came off the bench to cancel out Didier Drogba's first-half opener. For not only were Chelsea still haunted by losing the Champions League final in such a lottery after extra time against Manchester United in Moscow, but Jensen had never lost a shoot-out in four previous attempts.

"That's always been a positive thing," said the 33-year-old, who can now add Chelsea to a list of Chesterfield, Wolves and Grimsby - all in the League Cup - as well as a pre-season friendly against Blackpool in the Isle of Man in his first game after signing from West Brom.

"We said beforehand that if the takers just concentrate on putting the ball in the net and not change their mind, everyone said I would do the rest and it turned out to be that way. But, no pressure then!" smiled Jensen, after holding his nerve in front of thousands of jeering Chelsea fans in the Matthew Harding Stand.

"Honestly, I didn't really think about that. I'd been getting some stick from them, and as soon as we scored I turned around and looked at them. They weren't happy!

"But we were always going to take penalties down at that end.

"I started to think about (a shoot-out) five minutes before the end. It's big pressure but we had nothing to lose, even before the game started, and we've ended up with an unbelievable result.

"When you're playing Chelsea away and you're only five minutes into the game you always know you're going to be a bit troubled because they're probably the best side in the world.

"Look at the substitutions they made. They took Belletti off and then Frank Lampard comes on. What a substitution that is!

"He came on and ran the show in midfield. You could just see how good a player he is, but it was unbelievable to play against him.

"We had a little bit of luck, but that's what you need in football once in a while.

"But the longer we went into the game and the further we got, we started to feel we might have a chance, and it turned out to be absolutely true."

However, as the Clarets target competing with the likes of Chelsea in the Premier League, Jensen stressed the importance of not letting their Championship campaign suffer as a result of their cup success.

"People will say we've just beaten Chelsea away, what can't we do in the Championship? But everybody knows as well that's not how it is," he said.

"It can also be spun around, so if we come up against some underdogs they could always beat us.

"That's just how the game is. We just need to take one game at a time and see how it goes.

"We have to get back to reality tomorrow and work hard again, and the rest of it will take care of itself.

"We need to keep our feet on the ground because we know the Championship is hard work, and that is our priority.

"If we take one game at a time, we always work hard and then our ability will take care of itself, so hopefully we can keep going."
