Burnley vs Chelsea LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Chelsea secured back-to-back Premier League victories for the first time since March after coming from behind to thrash Burnley 4-1 on Saturday.
Looking to end a run of four successive home defeats on their return to the top flight this season, promoted Burnley raced into a 15th-minute lead, Wilson Odobert scoring his first goal in English football to stun the visitors.
Chelsea offered little in response until Ameen Al Dakhil put through his own net in the most unfortunate circumstances three minutes before the break to get Mauricio Pochettino’s team back level.
The visitors completed the turnaround early in the second half, Cole Palmer converting from the spot after Raheem Sterling had been fouled in the penalty area.
A fine Sterling goal and a fourth from substitute Nicolas Jackson put the game beyond the hosts, lifting Chelsea to ninth in the standings, with Burnley remaining in the relegation zone with only one win this season.

Chelsea scored three second-half goals to come from behind and beat Burnley at Turf Moor. Sterling curled a low shot from outside the box just wide of the post before Burnley netted the opener. Foster dribbled through Silva and Disasi, with the striker passing the ball across the box to Odobert, who drove his shot into the bottom corner. Sterling blasted an effort at Trafford before playing a crucial role in the Blues' comeback. The winger dribbled towards the byline and put a cross into the box that deflected off Al Dakhil and over Trafford to level the score. Sterling was causing havoc down the left and won a penalty after being fouled by Vitinho. Palmer took responsibility and rolled his spot-kick down the right side of the goal. Fernandez curled a shot into the gloves of the goalkeeper before Sterling bagged Chelsea's third. He got onto the end of Gallagher's throughball and finished the chance with composure. Jackson completed the route on his return after suspension, turning past O'Shea before firing his strike into the net. Foster looked to net a consolation in stoppage time, but he struck his effort just over.

The Blues ended their three-game winless run with a comfortable 2-0 win over Fulham in their last game, with their only other triumph in the top-flight coming against newly promoted Luton. They will be focusing on securing a place in European football next season but are currently five points behind West Ham, who are in seventh position. However, Chelsea will be confident that they can secure another win against Burnley as they have been victorious in seven of their last eight fixtures at Turf Moor, drawing the other one. No team has played more away games against an opponent in the competition without losing.

Vincent Kompany’s men had lost five of their six games before their away victory, with their only point coming in a 1-1 draw against Nottingham Forest. Burnley will be looking to secure back-to-back wins but must improve their form at Turf Moor. They have been defeated in all four of their home games this season; only four teams in top-flight history have ever lost their first five on home soil in a single campaign – Manchester United in 1930-31, Portsmouth in 2009-10, Bolton Wanderers in 2011-12 and Newcastle United in 2018-19.
