Chelsea secured back-to-back Premier League victories for the first time since March

Chelsea secured back-to-back Premier League victories for the first time since March after coming from behind to thrash Burnley 4-1. Looking to end a run of four successive home defeats on their return to the top flight this season, 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 unfortunate circumstances three minutes before the break to get Mauricio Pochettino’s team back level. The visitors then took complete control of the match in the second half, Cole Palmer converting from the spot after Raheem Sterling had been fouled in the penalty area just a few minutes after the restart.

A fine Sterling goal and a fourth from substitute Nicolas Jackson put the game beyond the hosts, lifting Chelsea to ninth in the table, with Burnley remaining in the relegation zone with only one win this season.

In an interview with raheem sterling he had this to say

“I wouldn’t say I had something to prove. We started well and conceded but then we kept playing and kept building. We took our chances and it was a good performance in the end.

“We were disappointed to go behind but it just shows that we are not giving up and we are building a foundation and making these steps week in, week out.”
