Chelsea were impressive in their 4-0 win over Burnley, even if they were without Eden Hazard. Alvaro Morata opened the scoring in the 22nd minute as we headed into the break with a one-goal lead.
Ross Barkley and Willian scored in the second half before Ruben Loftus-Cheek added the fourth in the 92nd minute.
The three points lifted us to second in the table behind Liverpool until Manchester City played Tottenham on Monday.
