-

84'ALONSO GOALLLLL: The man who hasn't played in months puts this game to bed. Fantastic volley inside the area facing away from the goal makes the goal one for the highlight real! What a goal.
Substitution
at Chelsea
-
80'Havertz comes on for Mount. Tuchel looking to shake something up just to get that final bit oomph and put this one beyond doubt.
-
72'James comes on for Hudson-Odoi.
-
70'Pulisic hits the 100000th Hudson-Odoi cross of the half wide with his first touch.
-
70'Chelsea look much better than they did in their last game but their problem of not being able to finish their chances remains...
-
68'Burnley escape an own goal as yet another Hudson-Odoi cross into the box is dangerously cleared across the goalline.
-
65'Burnley just about holding on. Hudson-Odoi once again receives the ball in space on the right wing and makes a dangerous run into the box. His cross was cleared in the air, however.
-
63'Chelsea continue their dominance against a deep-lying Burnley.
-
60'Wood comes off injured for Gudmundsson.
-
59'Westwood is booked for a late shove on Jorginho.
-
57'Hudson-Odoi off the post! He cut inside the area and Pieters just deflects the ball onto the post. It had a lot of power on the shot and was just an inch off going in!
-
55'Burnley have barely had a chance all game and now have a throwing deep in Chelsea territory.
-
53'Rudiger decides to have a go at goal from 30 yards after Chelsea's passing around the area failed to open up any gaps. It was well wide.
-
51'Werner heads into the near post but Pope was expecting it and the header was lacking power. Nothing more the German could do to his credit.
-
49'Chelsea are keeping Burnley in their own box for now! Refreshing to see Chelsea with such attacking vigour.
-
47'Alonso almost sneaks in a low pass into Werner in the centre of the box but it just blocked and sent out for a corner.
-
46'And we are off for the second half!
Substitution
at Chelsea

46'Pulisic comes on for Abraham.
-
45'HT: Promising stuff from Chelsea who have created a plethora of chances in comparison to Tuchel's face game in charge!
-
44'It is not Werner's day today... Mount plays a lovely ball to him in the area only for Timo to send a fizzing ball back into the stands...
-
42'Burnley unfairly punished on the break by a weak foul given in Chelsea's favour.
Goaaaaaal!

40'AZPILICUETA GOAL. And what a goal to mark the start of the Tuchel period. Chelsea ran up in numbers on the counter as Hudson-Odoi plays the ball out the area to Azpilicueta who fires high into the far top corner.
-
36'Werner cuts in on to his right foot on the edge of the area but sends another pee-roller to Pope's near post. That's his second shot just like that today, he is clearly lacking confidence!
-
33'Mount fires into space after a nicely teed-up shot in the corner of the area just doesn't sit right for him.
-
31'Azpilicueta fires in a deep cross after Mount and Abraham worked hard to create space but it went straight to Pope.
-
30'Hudson-Odoi is playing great on the wing today. He's causing havoc on the right wing.
-
28'Hudson-Odoi finds Werner in space unmarked only for the strike to fumble the ball! That's a massive wasted chance.
-
26'On a second look, it seems as if Alonso was actually going for goal and just fired wide.
-
25'Jorginho picks out Alonso on the back post who heads across goal instead of shooting. and Mount collides with Abraham in search of a tap in.
-
21'Westwood picks out Wood in the box who plays out to the wing. Chelsea are having to work hard at the back when Burnley manage to keep possession.
-
18'Tarkowski and Abraham square up after a little disagreement on the ball. The ref blows for a Burnley FK.
-
15'Kovacic picks up a ball teed up for him by Mount outside the area and fires a low shot straight at Pope.
-
13'Burnley continue to defend well under pressure from Chelsea, 3 consecutive balls into the area have now been successfully defended in the air.
-
12'Mount goes down on the corner flag to earn a FK for Chelsea.
-
10'Burnley threaten with a wide cross which finds Vydra in the box. He could only manage a glancing header that went way off target.
-
6'Chelsea look like a different team today. The Blues are playing a much more vertical game where every play seems to be moving the ball into a dangerous area. Good stuff so far but Burnley are strong in defence.
-
4'Kovacic send a long ball over the top looking for Mount's run but Pope saw the play and came out to kill the attack.
-
2'Mason Mount makes a start today and already has changed the dynamic of the game compared to how Chelsea played in his absence vs Wolves.
-
1'And we are off!
