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.

Burnley scored with their only shot on target of the half but are heading into the break level with Chelsea after an own goal from Al Dakhil. The Blues dominated possession across the half but only had a couple of clear opportunities. Sterling whipped a shot just wide of the post before the hosts broke the deadlock. Foster dripped through the middle of Silva and Disasi before finding Odobert inside the box, who drove his shot across the goal and into the bottom corner. Fernandez was denied a scoring chance after a phenomenal tackle from Cullen before Chelsea netted an equaliser. Sterling dribbled down the left and approached the byline before cutting a cross into the box, with the ball deflecting off Al Dakhil and into the net.

Chelsea are patient with possession outside the box. Sterling then looks to chip a pass over the top of Burnley's defence and into the path of Broja, but he puts too much on it.

Burnley have been behind the ball for most of the half but have looked strong defensively. Their rigid structure has stopped Chelsea from creating many clear chances, with the hosts heading away the majority of their crosses.

SAVE! Good stop from Trafford. Cucurella, Fernandez and Caicedo combine with some quick passing before the latter of the three sends a pass down the left to Sterling. he drives into the box before blasting a low shot straight at Trafford.
