Neto and Fernández ensure Chelsea avoid accidental slip with victory at Burnley

In a week when domestic accidents troubled Chelsea, they had no such issues away at Burnley. Without the injured Cole Palmer, who fractured a toe after colliding with a door at home, the Blues avoided a slip at Turf Moor, escaping without even a fissure.

There was the occasional early threat of a bloody nose but even not at full speed, Chelsea were able to halt Burnley’s industry. Pedro Neto and Enzo Fernández were the matchwinners but Enzo Maresca’s side did not make the most of dominating possession against a side that had two meek shots on target.
