da betsson: Mauricio Pochettino's side came from behind to record a 4-1 win at Turf Moor for their second successive victory on the road
da aviator aposta: It wasn't a pretty showing from Chelsea against Burnley on Saturday, but a dominant second hal showed what Mauricio Pochettino's squad is capable of. Winger Raheem Sterling stole the show, forcing an own-goal to open the scoring for Chelsea, scoring his own and then delivering a blistering assist late in the match.
Burnley opened the scoring just 15 minutes in through 18-year-old winger Wilson Odobert, and the young Frenchman caused havoc all match, with Marc Cucurella likely to have nightmares about their 1v1 duels. With the opening goal in their hands, it looked as though the match was Burnley's to lose, but Sterling's forced own-goal just before the halftime whistle gave the Blues a lifeline, and sparked the comeback.
Cole Palmer doubled Chelsea's lead from the spot six minutes into the second-half, and Sterling added a third in the 61st minute. The England international, who again missed out on the Three Lions squad for their upcoming matches with Australia and Italy, didn't stop there, though, as the 28-year-old delivered a brilliant assist for Nicolas Jackson with 15 minutes to spare. The result marked three-straight victories for Chelsea, and they might – just might – be back to their winning ways,

A dominant showing centrally, closed of any threat in the air in their box.
Axel Disasi (7/10):
Was a brick wall for the Blues, didn't allow much through.
Marc Cucurella (4/10):
Committed a defensive error for Burnley's opening goal and followed it with a wicked lash out on the leg of Wilson Odobert, earning a yellow card.
AdvertisementMidfield

Subs & Manager
Nicolas Jackson (7/10):
Scored the fourth goal of the match, and looked to take advantage of his cameo off the bench after serving a one-match suspension.
Mykhailo Mudryk (N/A):
Subbed on with less than 10 minutes to spare, but quality minutes for the winger who left Wednesday's match early due to injury.
Mauricio Pochettino (7/10):
Frankly, it was an awful first 45 minutes from the Blues boss as they were outclassed in almost every sense. However, whatever he said at the half-time break, it worked as we may have seen the best version of his Chelsea yet.
