Chelsea defeated visitors Burnley at home as Sean Dyches and his troops faced Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
However, the Chelsea side were too good for Sean Dyche’s Burnley as the trio of William, Jorginho and Tammy Abraham have their hand written on the win.
Burnley’s defeat may prove a negative outcome for the visitor but Frank Lampard’s men are on a ride as they secured an important win to say the least.
With Chelsea’s 3-0 win over Sean Dyches side, we evaluate the interesting points from this EPL contest.
1. Jorginho Perfect Penalty
The Brazilian cum Italian midfielder was in the headlines for the right reasons as he scored to give Chelsea a well-deserved lead.
With William brought down in the box after some good movement on the ball, the match referee pointed to the spot as the Italian was presented with the chance to have a say in the game thus increasing his tally from the spot..He dispatched his spot-Kick in a aplomb adding to his penalty haul more like his manager Frank Lampard as the Blues boss had had such occasion during his playing days at the club.
Jorginho also handles penalty duty for his National side Italy as he’s scored a couple of them to his sides advantage.
It was the trigger the Blues needed at home as Jorginho converted from the spot just like he did in the 2-0 win against Chris Houghton’s Brighton and Hove Albion earlier in the season.
2. Goal Debut For Hudson-Odoi
Young winger Callum-Hudson-Odoi scored the third goal for Chelsea as he added gloss to the score line following goals from Jorginho and Tammy Abraham.
It was a special afternoon on the pitch for Hudson-Odoi as he scored to mark his first Premier League goal.
Despite scoring in other competition like in the Europe League and in the FA Cup last weekend against Nottingham Forest, he was opportuned to make a fresh start as he summed up the match day for Chelsea on a positive note.
3. Chelsea On The Rise
The blues 3-0 win suggests a lot of positive as Burnley walks away in dismay at Stanford Bridge.
Chelsea took the visitors to the cleaners and found the goals there efforts deserved as William’s brilliance and electrifying Hudson-Odoi was a too much of a big deal for Sean Dyches and his wards.
The Blues have struggled to score more than two goals in the last 13 games across all competition.
But the 3-0 win over Burnley may give Chelsea (gradual) an ascendancy and a season push even as they built on the 2-0 victory they’ve got against Championship side Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup.
