For once the shackles were off at Stamford Bridge. After a series of choked displays against defensive opponents
Chelsea finally discovered a creative spark and summoned the ruthlessness to record their biggest home win in the league under Frank Lampard, swatting Burnley aside to maintain their grip on fourth place.
Goals from Jorginho, Tammy Abraham and Callum Hudson-Odoi ensured that Chelsea were comfortable long before the end. Abraham scored his 15th goal in all competitions this season, suggesting that he could step up for
England in the absence of Harry Kane, and Hudson-Odoi’s first
Premier League goal gave the result an emphatic look.
