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.

Palmer receives possession on the right just past the halfway line and curls a pass down the wing towards Gallagher. The captain heads it past Delcroix and gets past the defender before the Burnley man makes a fantastic recovery tackle.

SAVE! Burnley have had the ball for the last couple of minutes. Odobert rushes inside from the left and brushes away a defender before curling a shot towards the goal. It goes straight down the middle but it is dipping, forcing Sanchez to push it over.

Burnley have started the half poorly. They have given possession away on several occasions in their own defensive third and are putting themselves under a lot of early pressure.

PENALTY CHELSEA! Sterling isolates Vitinho on the left and pushes the ball past him before bursting around him. The right-back makes a late slide tackle and takes him down.
Burnley vs Chelsea
Burnley showed defensive resilience before the break and are slightly unfortunate not to be leading. They defended their box brilliantly and stopped Chelsea from getting shots away from good positions. The Blues' only attempt on target came from Sterling, whose attempt from a narrow angle was never beating Trafford. They countered clinically but have not provided an attacking threat since scoring the opener. As for the away side, they have tried their best to remain patient. They have controlled possession and have shown flashes of quality but have not put Burnley under pressure enough. Sterling has been one of their best players and has constantly looked to beat Vitinho.
