Chelsea survived an early surge from Burnley at Turf Moor and walked away with three crucial points after a composed away performance. On 37 minutes, Pedro Neto shook off his marker and headed home at the far post after a precise cross. The hosts were finally sunk late on when Enzo Fernández clinically finished a low delivery from Marc Guiu, sealing the result.

The 2–0 victory lifts Chelsea into second place in the Premier League. Manchester City still have a chance to reclaim their spot above the Blues, but Pep Guardiola’s side must secure an away win against Newcastle United later today to do so.
