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.

Delcroix gives the ball straight to Chelsea inside Burnley's half, with the away side wasting an immediate chance to pounce before recycling possession. Fernandez has it on the right and curls a cross towards Sterling, who tries to get on the end of it. However, Cullen is there and he helps it back to Trafford.

TACKLE! What a challenge from Cullen inside the box. Gallagher has the ball on the right and chips a cross into the box. It goes over the head of Broja but straight to Fernandez, who is unmarked. He takes a touch before Cullen slides across to concede a corner.

Cullen is the first Burnley player to be given a yellow card after pulling Sterling's shirt.

Fernandez played a lot of simple passes in the early stages of the game but is now attempting to go for a more direct approach. However, the Burnley defence are doing well to deal with the danger and are not allowing Sterling or Palmer to receive it.

Burnley are playing their natural game and are not rushing in possession. They are allowing Chelsea to put them under pressure and are releasing the ball in the final moment before getting tackled.

CHANCE! Odobert moves down the left with the ball and cuts inside before clipping a cross into the heart of the box. Tresor gets there ahead of Colwill, but he is unable to direct his effort towards the goal.

There has not been a lot of action since Burnley netted the opener. Sterling has made a couple of surging runs down the left, but nothing has come from it. The away side are trying to target Vitinho.
