Mauricio Pochettino’s team staged an impressive comeback, securing a 4-1 win at Turf Moor for their second consecutive road victory.
Chelsea’s performance against Burnley on Saturday wasn’t particularly elegant, but a dominant second half showcased the potential of Mauricio Pochettino’s squad. Winger Raheem Sterling took center stage, initiating the scoring with an own-goal, netting one himself, and providing a scintillating assist late in the game.
Burnley initially took the lead just 15 minutes in through 18-year-old winger Wilson Odobert, who caused problems throughout the match, particularly for Marc Cucurella in their one-on-one duels. With the opening goal in their favor, Burnley seemed to have control of the match. However, Sterling’s forced own-goal just before halftime breathed new life into the Blues and sparked the comeback.

Six minutes into the second half, Cole Palmer doubled Chelsea’s lead from the penalty spot, and Sterling added a third in the 61st minute. The England international didn’t stop there; at the age of 28, he delivered a brilliant assist for Nicolas Jackson with 15 minutes to spare. This victory marked Chelsea’s third consecutive win, and it appears they might just be returning to their winning ways.
