Chelsea have sealed their win over Burnley with a late goal to make it 2-0, just as things started getting a little hairy at Turf Moor.
Enzo Fernandez put the finishing touches on it to add another to his tasty goal contribution total for this season. He went directly to celebrate with the away fans behind the goal.

Much like the first goal, it was a really nice move right from the back. Robert Sanchez dummied a long pass then played it short, Pedro Neto carried the ball up the pitch then cut inside. As he went one way, Marc Guiu went the other, breaking out wide to latch on to Neto’s through ball.
The Spaniard showed great speed and strength to shrug off Axel Tuanzebe and get in behind, and then showed great composure to cut the ball back rather than shoot himself.
Who was rushing into the box? It was of course Fernandez, who has made a real name for himself getting into positions like that, especially in the last 12 months. He had a crowd of defenders ahead of him, but kept his head to smash the ball low and hard through the limbs.

In other Burnley news…
Reece James was taken off at half time of this match, causing some fears about injury, but there were major clues on the sideline that this was all pre-planned and we needn’t worry about it.
Pedro Neto had opened the scoring in this game after another sweeping move, the winger dashing in at the far post to head home after Jamie Gittens’ superb cross. Like Enzo, the Portuguese is putting up some really good numbers through three months of the season.
