    Over the entirety of the game Burnley are the deserved winners.

    Until Morata came on the Clarets were the better side by a distance. When it came to it, it was the sending off of Cahill that made a real difference.

    Chelsea were simply insipid until they fell 3-0 down. Then Conte made some changes and it completely changed the game - you have to ask why the changes didn't happen earlier.

    Good luck to the nation's football reporters, trying to distill that into 800 words!

    Sam Vokes, scorer of a double for Burnley, in the Stamford Bridge tunnel: "We were sloppy at times but we ground the result out and we're delighted as a result.

    "That's a huge result - a lot was made of our away form last season. So that result is huge, a massive win for us at the start of the season.

    "It was always going to be tough here but we got our heads down and put in a performance."

    Burnley midfielder Jack Cork, formerly of Chelsea: "They made it hard for us in the second half but a win’s a win and we’ve got three points on the board.

    "Stephen Ward has a wand of a left foot - it was a great strike, a great goal!

    "At 3-0 up we should have made it safer, but we got there in the end. It's always good to have a good start in the Premier League - it means a lot to us and to all the fans that came here and those at home."

    With all the time-wasting, the goals, the substitutes and the sendings-off, I wouldn't be surprised if there were nine minutes of added time... it's four minutes!

    After all the stoppages, to think the referee can give only four extra minutes! The referee has lost it, he's absolutely lost it.

    Chelsea look better with nine men than they did with 11 men. Burnley are just panicking. They are getting caught up in it.

    It is remarkable, really. It is only Chelsea who could get back into it.

    Jay: Tottenham fans must be rubbing their hands in glee at all the Chelsea suspensions.

    Ssxio: That’ll teach you for being a petulant child in the first half Cesc.

    KO: At this rate, Conte's gonna have to play himself next week.

    He has gone in again with the studs. It is not as bad as Cahill's, but he knows that once you are on a yellow card, you need to be careful going into a challenge.

    Very rarely now do you see players going in at the side. It has crept into the game and they need to eradicate it.

    I wonder if Craig Pawson got some help from his assistant on the far side, Lee Betts. Fabregas slid in and caught the foot of Jack Cork. His only intention was to win the ball. It was a harsh yellow.

    His first yellow, however, for sarcastically applauding, was stupid. It put him on a tightrope, and he has just fallen off it.

    Fabregas is furious. The midfielder dives in to try and win the ball and catches jack Cork. Second yellow, followed by red. Cesc may feel the decision is harsh but he set himself up for it by getting an unnecessary first yellow for talking back to the ref.

    Antonio Conte knows that you don't kill the chicken because of one bad egg. But Chelsea's next four games are: Tottenham away, Everton here, Leicester away and Arsenal here. If those four matches go as badly as this, you could argue that the champions will be out of the title race before it has begun.
