Chelsea bolsters their Premier League position as they battle to lift the Premier League title on Saturday after earning a 2-0 win against Burnley.
Pedro Neto scored the first goal of the match at Turf Moor minutes before the first half ended, while Enzo Fernández scored the winner late in the match.
The win pushed the Blues to second place with a total of 23 points, three behind league leaders Arsenal, who will play on Sunday against Tottenham.
Enzo Maresca’s side has earned eight wins in its last 10 matches across all competitions, making it his 50th Premier League game since he was hired as Chelsea’s coach with another good game.
This win prepares them for a tough week with a Champions League game at Stamford Bridge against the Catalonian giant Barcelona and Arsenal in the local league.
Chelsea did not feature two of its star players, including Cole Palmer, due to a fractured toe while recovering from a previous injury, and Moises Caicedo, who rested after representing his country in international duty.
Chelsea took control and earned the victory despite early setbacks, including a collision between goalkeeper Robert Sanchez and Fernandez.
