Follow all the action from Turf Moor
Chelsea secured back-to-back Premier League victories for the first time since March after coming from behind to thrash Burnley 4-1 on Saturday.
Looking to end a run of four successive home defeats on their return to the top flight this season, promoted Burnley raced into a 15th-minute lead, Wilson Odobert scoring his first goal in English football to stun the visitors.
Chelsea offered little in response until Ameen Al Dakhil put through his own net in the most unfortunate circumstances three minutes before the break to get Mauricio Pochettino’s team back level.
The visitors completed the turnaround early in the second half, Cole Palmer converting from the spot after Raheem Sterling had been fouled in the penalty area.
A fine Sterling goal and a fourth from substitute Nicolas Jackson put the game beyond the hosts, lifting Chelsea to ninth in the standings, with Burnley remaining in the relegation zone with only one win this season.

BLOCK! Koleosho twists onto his left foot on the right flank and chips a pass across to Odobert on the edge. His first-time effort is goal-bound, but it gets blocked.

Having won five and drawn two of his first seven Premier League meetings with Burnley, Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino lost his last game against the Clarets, going down 2-1 with Spurs in February 2019. However, the Argentine has won 85.4 per cent of his Premier League games against promoted sides (35/41), the highest ratio of any manager to take charge of at least 10 such matches. He is about to add another win onto his record.
