Burnley 1-2 Chelsea: Victor Moses' second-half strike seals win for Blues over Sean Dyche's side to move them to within five points of the top four

Daily Mail | April 19, 2018

A second-half strike by Victor Moses was enough to seal all three points for Chelsea at Burnley.

Antonio Conte's side took the lead within the opening 20 minutes through a Kevin Long own-goal but were pegged back early in the second half by striker Ashley Barnes.

However Moses fired a low-driven right-footed shot past Burnley goalkeeper Nick Pope minutes later to secure victory.
