In a scintillating Premier League game at the Turf Moor, Chelsea FC pulled off an incredible comeback to defeat Burnley 4-1. Chelsea’s victory gave them their first back-to-back victories since March.
Wilson Odobert of Burnley scored the game’s first goal to put his team in the lead right away. Raheem Sterling entered the battle and the momentum shifted in Chelsea’s favour. Ameen Al Dakhil’s deflection on Sterling’s cross allowed for an equaliser in the 42nd minute.
Cole Palmer confidently converted a penalty that Sterling gained in the second half. In the 65th minute, Sterling rounded off a stellar performance by scoring Chelsea’s third goal with a confident strike into the bottom corner. Substitute Nicolas Jackson added a fourth goal, putting Burnley’s season to an end, and once again Sterling was a part of the setup.
Chelsea turned the game around with their relentless attack and strong defence, despite being the team with the best chance of winning for the majority of the first half. Chelsea’s dominance was evident from the team statistics, which included 5 shots on goal and 63% possession.
This victory relieved pressure on Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino and put an end to their losing streak. This victory sent the squad into the international break on a good note.
In two weeks, Chelsea will play Arsenal in a London Derby. The Blues, who are now tenth on the log, will go into the game with a winning mentality against Mikel Arteta’s side, who are currently in third place in the Premier League table.
