Chelsea thrash Burnley to reinforce spot in top four – Sporting Life

Kai Havertz bagged a brace as Chelsea ran out comfortable winners over Burnley at Turf Moor.

The Blues came into the game having won four straight at the Clarets’ home but were forced back for much of the first half and should have been behind when Dwight McNeil shot over the bar after Edouard Mendy’s muffed punch fell to him eight yards out.

Reece James changed the game within minutes of the restart, turning McNeil inside and out before firing in from a narrow angle. Soon afterwards, Christian Pulisic clipped a cross to the back post finding Havertz pulling behind the centre backs to head home.

Within ten minutes of the start of the second half, the advantage was three with James putting the ball on a plate for Havertz to nudge home from close range.

An awful error from James Tarkowski gifted the Blues’ fourth, as his attempted clearance fell straight into Pulisic’s path and the American easily stroked home from six yards out.
