Burnley struggled to mount any significant resistance, highlighting Chelsea’s defensive stability and attacking efficiency away from home.
Following this result, Chelsea rose to second place in the Premier League standings, accumulating 23 points from 12 games. Arsenal remains at the summit with 29 points, while Manchester City holds third place with 22 points. The victory keeps Chelsea firmly in the title race, although they face a notable point gap behind league leaders Arsenal.

These games will rigorously test Chelsea’s squad depth and resilience.
