Chelsea 3 Burnley 0: Hazard shines in dominant win

Antonio Conte called on his team to kill games off in midweek, and Eden Hazard helped Chelsea take a step in that direction against Burnley.

Eden Hazard was the star of the show as Chelsea earned a dominant 3-0 Premier League victory over Burnley at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.

After opening the scoring with just nine minutes played by surging down the left on the counter-attack and curling home from 20 yards, the mercurial Hazard was the central attacking figure in a tactically astute display from Chelsea.

Burnley shocked Liverpool last weekend by finishing clinically on the break in a 2-0 win at Turf Moor, and in a bid to avoid suffering a similar fate Antonio Conte's side sat deep and were happy to allow the visitors to hold the ball in the first half.
