"A fine save from Courtois. It's his anticipation and movement to get across which makes that such a good stop."

Anthony Njage:, external The difference in the title race might just be brilliant assists like the one Cesc delivered, Arsene must be tearing his hair out.

Jack Whiteside:, external For all Chelsea fans purring about Cesc Fabregas, we didn't sign him because we have Ramsey and Ozil! No denying his class though.

Tolulope Olabode:, external As much as I hated it then, but buying Fabregas has more than made up for selling Mata in January.

That's why Thibaut Courtois is in the Chelsea team. The Belgian flings himself across his line to his left to tip another excellent effort by Scott Arfield away with one hand. Delicious play all round. Almost a second for Arfield.

And off we go. Burnley have clearly had a rocket. Danny Ings powers forward and fires narrowly wide in the opening seconds.

"We are watching the champions tonight. What a second goal as well. That goal will take some beating this year! Better than Arsenal's last year."

What has the 'Ginger Mourinho' said to his Burnley players at half-time? Can they come back from this? What has the real Mourinho been telling his Chelsea side? They're all coming back out for the second half. We're ready to go again.

"James Alexander Gordon was one of the first people to welcome me to 5 live. A true gentleman. A true voice. It was an honour to introduce him."

Tributes are flooding in following the announcement that James Alexander Gordon, one of the most recognisable voices in British broadcasting, has died aged 78.

Gordon read the classified football results on BBC radio for 40 years before stepping down in 2013.

Richard Burgess, head of BBC Radio Sport, said: "James was an iconic radio voice, who turned the classified football results on BBC radio into a national institution. He was also a true gentleman, who was loved and admired by his colleagues."

"It will get easier after this game, Burnley."

Tunde Akere:, external I can't fail to agree with Jose Mourhino that Cesc Fabregas is Chelsea's future. He's a top top player. Amazing.

Mike Hanson:, external There is always room for world-class players in any squad. Why did Arsenal let Cesc Fabregas go to Chelsea?

Paa Kwesi Eghan:, external Cesc Fabregas might just be Mourinho's master stroke of genius this season!

"I've been very very impressed by Chelsea based on that first-half performance. The second goal from Chelsea, you have to hold you hands up, because there's not a lot you can do about a piece of brilliance like that.

"But the third goal will really have annoyed Burnley boss Sean Dyche because it was sloppy. If they could have gone in at half-time only 2-1 down then they might have been able to nick an equaliser But you have to say it looks less likely they will get anything now."

Welcome to the Premier League, Burnley. Last season's Championship runners-up have capitulated since taking the lead and new-look Chelsea are coasting, with Diego Costa off the mark and Cesc Fabregas catching the eye.

Half-time is fast approaching and Sean Dyche will be desperate to get his players into the dressing room without any further damage. Chelsea have eased off the pace since adding a third. All the noise, predictably, is coming from the away end.

Sonawane Mahesh:, external Chelsea have defenders who score, midfielders who score and now a striker who can score!

Simple Simon:, external A wake-up call for Burnley. They're going down if they conduct transfers like a Championship club.

Dowu Lawanson:, external We are surely in for a cricket scoreline now!

Burnley aren't dead and buried just yet as Danny Ings flashes an effort narrowly wide. A moment of respite for the shell-shocked Clarets.

"It was a simple goal from the corner. A great finish, but a very poor goal for Burnley to concede from a defensive perspective."

Is that game, set and match? Branislav Ivanovic finds the net with a close-range volley following Cesc Fabregas's corner. That's three goals in 17 minutes for Jose Mourinho's men. The earlier euphoria around Turf Moor has been well and truly punctured. And still Mourinho sits in the dug out showing little emotion.

Alex Storey:, external That is a stonewall penalty. Diego Costa's reputation precedes him there.

Rob Millward:, external It's a penalty and a sending off all day long. Who said big clubs get the decisions? We've not been given one so far!

Pinda Mann:, external If Burnley defenders get clever about it they can wind Costa up to get him sent off. He is a hothead

Chris from banbury: With all these world class midfielders it's good to see Chelsea finally have someone who can put the ball in the net.

Andy: Chelsea's signing of Cesc Fabregas has been the best bit of business done in world football during this summer's transfer window to date. He's a world-class midfielder tried and tested in the Premier League. He doesn't score a lot, but he provides assists by the bucket-load! He's the complete footballer and a frightening prospect for the opposition.
