Premier League: Chelsea Take Big Win At Burnley

 


Chelsea came from behind to get the victory they deserved at Burnley by 4-1 for their second league game straight win for the first time this season.

Burnley took the lead when Wilson Odobert struck the ball past Robert Robert Sanchez into the goal after Ben Foster beat Axel Disasi and Thiago Silva to get a pass through to him. 

As Chelsea began to find their forms in the game, late into the game, Raheem Sterling charged into the box and slammed the ball across but was deflected home on Ameen Al-Dakhil and Chelsea equalised. 

Kasey Palmer put Chelsea in the lead scoring from a penalty drawn by Sterling soon after the halftime break, and Sterling got his goal later on, striking the ball past James Trafford from inside the box for the side's third goal. 

Chelsea went comfortably clear for victory, when Sterling facilitated an attack with a cross to Palmer, whose pass find Nocolas Jackson into the 6-yard box and he rounded out a challenge before striking the ball into the goal for Chelsea's fourth. 

The goal margin was not only the biggest Chelsea have had in away game this season, it was their first away game win from behind since last October against Crystal Palace (2-1). 

 Quick Overview of the Game 

Chelsea got themselves a comfortable victory at Burnley, and Raheem Sterling did a lot of work to ensure that happened, making contributions to all the four goals scored. 

Vincent Kompany's Burnley were able to hold off Chelsea for most of the first half, even taking the lead whilst the visitors were unable to find that spark they needed in front of the goal. 

Enzo Fernandez have not got the spark to get the ball in the goal. He lost a neat chance given him from Sterling's cut-back. Though, Jackson got on the scoresheet with the fourth goal, he wasted the opportunity handed him from Mykhailo Murdyk's cut-back following a fast break soon after he replaced Sterling. 

In all, Burnley played good football but their bubbles later burst as Chelsea made most of their chances to come out with a victory.
