Goals from wingers Eden Hazard, Willian, and Victor Moses told the tale of the tape, but plenty others came close, including Diego Costa who had five shots.

“We know that Chelsea is a great team and a great team must fight until the end for the title”.

Antonio Conte has hinted that Chelsea new-boy Michy Batshuayi could start up front against Burnley on Saturday. “I see a lot of positive things but we can improve”.

“After the first day I saw his will to work very well, to improve, to find good shape, but I also can tell that Eden’s performance can improve a lot”. But I m pleased with his commitment and work-rate – and the same goes for all the players.

Skipper John Terry has taken to his Instagram account to express his delight at securing another important win and congratulated the three Chelsea goalscorers, while Willian also posted a message on his Instagram account.

Speaking ahead of Burnley’s visit to Stamford Bridge tomorrow, he said: “I believe with this market it’s very hard”.

“It was a good game and performance and we played good football with good possession”. When you have these players with great talent, it s good for me to put them in the best condition to excite with this talent. “The attitude is good and I like this”.

Sean Dyche admits his Burnley side are the “minnows” ahead of their trip to Chelsea but insists they can get a result.

“There’s a huge gulf between where we are as a club and this club, but when the whistle blows you want to be ready to perform, and we weren’t”. There’s a huge gulf between where we are as a club and where they are, but we didn’t perform well. And if you make poor decisions like we made, against a strong side, then you are going to be in trouble, and we were.

“We gave the ball away far too often”.

The Clarets had goalkeeper and captain Tom Heaton to thank for keeping the scoreline respectable in the second half, as he single-handedly thwarted the rampant Chelsea attack.
