    Excellent save by Tom Heaton to deny Chelsea a fourth as he stretches out a hand to keep out Cesar Azpilicueta's drive.

    I think this is really interesting that Chelsea have maximum points. 

    They look like a side who, without European football, could lift the title.

    GOAL - Chelsea 3-0 Burnleypublished at 16:45 British Summer Time 27 August 2016

    Victor Moses (88 mins)

    The icing on the cake. A quick Chelsea break and there's acres of space at the back as Pedro crosses into the box and Victor Moses is there, unmarked, to turn home. 

    Could he be staying at Stamford Bridge this time?

    Now Michy Batshuayi wants in on the action as he gets the ball inside the box from a throw, but blasts over.

    Pedro tries to speed things up with a darting run into the box, but Michael Keane is across to put the ball out for a throw.

    Chelsea appear to have taken their foot off the gas. They are nowhere near as dominant as they were for a good 70 minutes or so. Feels like both sides are just counting down the clock...

  8. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 80 mins

    Chelsea 2-0 Burnley

    Couple of changes for Chelsea as this game enters the final 10 minutes. Diego Costa's day is done and he is replaced by Michy Batshuayi, while Eden Hazard goes off to rapturous applause, with Pedro coming on in his place.

  9. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 76 mins

    Chelsea 2-0 Burnley

    Willian's put in a shift. Back from injury he's bagged a goal and looked lively through but Antonio Conte doesn't want to put too much on him and decides to take him off. He is replaced by Victor Moses.

    Still, there is hope for Burnley. Chelsea have not kept a clean sheet this season. In fact they haven't kept a clean sheet at home since November last season. 

    The substitutions have given Burnley a bit more zip and they win a succession of corners. Comfortably dealt with by Chelsea, though.

  11. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 70 mins

    Chelsea 2-0 Burnley

    Third and final change for Burnley as Dean Marney is replaced by James Tarkowski, who is on for his Premier League debut. Marney is in no rush to go off. Feels like Burnley have entered damage limitation mode.

    It's not been Diego Costa's day so far. He keeps getting the ball in promising positions, but is getting his shots wrong or finding himself charged down quickly. Still, if you are going to have an off game, you may as well let it be the one your side is 2-0 up in.

    Johann Gudmundsson's first contribution to the game is to have a go from distance but it is never troubling Thibaut Courtois. Easy save for the Chelsea keeper.

    Corner number seven for Chelsea. It is played short to Eden Hazard, who is inexplicably unmarked on the edge of the area but he flashes a shot over the bar. How have Chelsea not scored a third yet?

    Double change for Burnley as Johann Berg Gudmundsson and Aiden O'Neill come on for Scott Arfield and Steven Defour.

    How did that not go in!!?? Eden Hazard connects wonderfully with a corner to volley at goal through a crowded box. Tom Heaton superbly blocks it but punches straight to John Terry, but the defender shoots over from close range.

    There's so much space at the back now that Burnley have decided to push forward and twice in quick succession Chelsea attack quickly. Both times, Diego Costa gets the ball trapped under his feet when in a good position. It feels like a third is coming though.

    Willian is over the free-kick. He knows how to bag from here, well usually he does but not today. The midfielder bends his shot over the goal.

    Michael Keane bundles over Diego Costa as the Chelsea striker powers forward. Yellow card for Keane and a free-kick for Chelsea just outside the area...

    Attack they do in the early stages, as Burnley have the game's first shot of the second half. It comes from the boot of Dean Marney, with a predictable outcome - it flies high over the bar. He hasn't scored since 2014.
