EPL: Chelsea Blot Out Burnley

Chelsea started the season with a bang as they mercilessly swept Burnley aside with a 3-1 win Burnley fans started dreaming of a shock win when Scott Arfield fired past Thibaut Courtois in the 14th minute, but Chelsea quickly put a dampener on the Premier League newcomers' party. But Diego Costa marked his debut with a poacher's strike to equalise and Andre Schurrle then finished off a sublime 25-pass move to put his side ahead. Cesc Fabregas, who was overlooked by Arsenal and Manchester United this summer, fitted perfectly into the Chelsea midfield while Eden Hazard and Schurrle mesmerised the Burnley defence with ease.
