Chelsea 3 Burnley 0: Eden Hazard back to his best as his opener sets Blues up for second Premier League win

CHELSEA'S revival under Antonio Conte continued with a convincing win at Stamford Bridge over Sean Dyche's Burnley.

The same side that stank out the Premier League last season – plus super signing N’Golo Kante – rolled over the newly promoted side with goals from Eden Hazard, Willian and Victor Moses.

The Belgian playmaker, who went missing last season under the Portuguese, scored a stunning solo goal to settle the home fans.

And Willian converted a Diego Costa cross four minutes before the interval before Victor Moses notched with seconds remaining to wrap up maximum points for the Blues.

FACTS, STATS GOALS & LOLS

• GARY CAHILL clearly wants to be noticed a bit more this season - judging by the new blond highlights in his hair. You wouldn't imagine his defensive partner at Chelsea John Terry doing it
• AFTER 13 minutes, there was a prime example of the N'Golo Kante effect for Chelsea. First he won the ball from George Boyd in the centre and fed Eden Hazard on the left. When that broke down, back came the ball and Kante was waiting to coolly switch the ball to Willian on the right.
• YOU CAN'T keep the fans of underdog clubs down. Burnley were simply out-classed in the first half but their supporters kept up an enormous din throughout.
• THIS was Sean Dyche's 1,397th day in charge of Burnley, according to the match programme. He's had better days at work but, unremarked by many,  this fact makes him the third longest-serving Premier League boss.
• ONLY five minutes had gone when Chelsea’s Diego Costa lived up to his reputation for hitting the deck rather, erm, easily, under a challenge from Steven Defour. There were no more antics in the first half though.
• CLARETS boss Sean Dyche spent much of the game with arm raised shielding his eyes from the fierce sunshine. Antonio Conte, by contrast, didn't need to do it. Must be something to do with being Italian and cool.
• BURNLEY had stunned Liverpool the previous weekend despite having only 25 per cent possession. Whether or not the idea was to apply the same tactic here, they were barely allowed near the ball.
• A BANNER at the old Shed End proclaims: "Zola The Little Magician." Eden Hazard will surely earn a similar tribute of his own if he carries on performing with as much joyful dazzle as he did here.
• FORMER Brentford defender James Tarkwoski was handed his Premier League debut after 70 minutes. It was a damage limitation exercise but at least he will have learned something about the standards at this level.
• CHELSEA fans are clearly enjoying the new lease if life given to their players by Antonio Conte. After the friction between the squad and Jose Mourinho last season, Eden Hazard, Diego Costa and Willian all won standing ovations when they were substituted.

WHAT THEY SAID:

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte said: "It was a good game and performance and we played good football with good possession.

“We created a lot of chances and kept a clean sheet - this is important because after 13 home games without a clean sheet this helps the confidence and shows the hard work is paying off.

"We have started very well this season but we must know we can improve.

"Eden Hazard must be this decisive in every game, and I am pleased because I saw it today, but we must work to improve more.

"We are working close together, the club and I, and we are trying to find the right solutions to improve this squad. We have four days to find this, but I am pleased to work with the squad I have."

Burnley boss Sean Dyche said: "They were far too good today. They are too strong in all areas.

"We want to take on the challenge and I think the lads got too sucked in with the result from last week.

"We did not use the ball at all. There were too many sloppy passes and you just cannot do that against teams like this one.

"They were never in trouble, but we have to learn from these games. This is not really our market, there is a big gap from where they are and where we are.

"We were not close to getting a result today."
