The Belgium worldwide was also involved as Willian’s strike doubled the advantage before Victor Moses added a late third from fellow substitute Pedro Rodriguez’s cross.

“I must be honest, I think we’ll have a problem to reach our targets”, he said. After the first day, I saw this.
On the bench, Conte can call for new signing Michy Batshuayi if he needs to throw on another striker, while Pedro Rodriguez and Victor Moses are also attacking options. “We have four days to find this, but I am pleased to work with the squad I have”.
Costa cut a particularly frustrated figure as first he shot straight at Heaton after good work by Hazard and Nemanja Matic, and was then crowded out by the Burnley defence when fed by Oscar. Nothing like winning to bring the feel-good back, to re-instill much needed confidence in players and fans alike, and get squad to buy into the new system.
“I also can tell Eden his performance can improve a lot but I’m please for his commitment, and work rate”.
Is Chelsea back to being one of the major Premier League contenders under Conte?
Now, with Conte in charge and stability restored at Stamford Bridge, the 25-year-old, who captained his country in France, has started the new season in sparkling form. “The players have the right attitude and this is very important for me”.
“When the whistle blows you want to be ready to perform but we weren’t”, Dyche said.
“It’s important to start in a good way”. “We have three good goalkeepers now; first (Thibaut) Courtois, second Begovic, third Eduardo”. “You have to play on the front foot and we didn’t do that”.
Chelsea raised their intensity in the second half and Willian floated a corner to Hazard, whose volley from 20 yards out forced an excellent save from Heaton down to his left, with John Terry blazing the loose ball over from six yards.
“There’s a huge gulf between us and this side, and we made some poor decisions”.

Stamford Bridge is a hard place to visit and I think that Burnley will lose here.
