Raheem Sterling led the Chelsea charge as he played a key role in Mauricio Pochettino’s team’s 4-1 dismantling of Burnley.
Wilson Odobert gave Burnley a shock lead as he became the Clarets’ youngest ever Premier League scorer at just 18 but Sterling, left out of the England squad for the upcoming international games, forced an own goal by Ameen Al Dakhil that drew Chelsea level before winning the penalty that made it 2-1, converted by Cole Palmer.
Things look to be clicking into gear now for Pochettino’s side, who have won successive Premier League games for the first time since March and head into the international break in a good place.
