Burnley 0-2 Chelsea Player Ratings: Pedro Neto and Enzo Fernandez Strikes Sink Burnley Further More in the Table

Burnley started brightly and dominated the opening few exchanges with early chances falling to both Tchaouna and Anthony. The Clarets' defensive setup initially frustrated Chelsea, but later on, the visitors gradually gained control of the midfield through more possession. Chelsea's breakthrough came in the 37th minute through Pedro Neto's well-timed header at the far post, though credit goes to Jamie Gittens for his cross. The goal came against the run of first-half play for Burnley, who had created more opportunities but lacked the clinical edge.

The Blues emerged from the break with intensity and purpose. Joao Pedro fired over the crossbar within minutes of the restart as Chelsea pressed to double their lead. The visitors dominated large periods of the second half, with Pedro Neto coming desperately close to doubling Chelsea's advantage in the 63rd minute, but Dubravka stunned everyone with his athleticism as he deflected the ball onto the post. Andrey Santos' brilliant clearance on the rebound prevented what would have been an embarrassing rebound finish.

Burnley struggled to maintain their early intensity, particularly with how Anthony ruined chances to equalize the scoreline. The hosts created six shots but managed only one on target, showcasing the lack of attacking edge in the final third. Chelsea doubled their lead through Enzo Fernández in the 88th minute.
