Chelsea, the Premier League giant, have invested more than €400 million in the transfer window this summer, but their record has not improved significantly, with just eight points from the first seven rounds of the new season, and Pochettino is under great pressure. This weekend, Chelsea are heading to the eighth round of games as the Blues travel away to promotion Burnley, who have won just one of seven games and are considered relegation favourites. Raheem Sterling, two new signings, Palmer and Nicolas Jacquesson, Chelsea's 4-1 comeback win over Burnley!
In order to take all three points, Chelsea followed a 4-3-3 formation this game, with Alexis Sanchez in the goal, Colwell, D, Disassie and Cucurella forming a back four, with Enzo, Caicedo and Gallagher in the three midfielders, and Raheem Sterling, Broia and Palmer joining forces.
After the start of the game, Chelsea took the initiative by virtue of their strength advantage. In the 13th minute, Raheem Sterling cut inside with the ball on the left, swung the angle to follow the trend, and grazed the upright out of bounds. Only 1 minute later, Burnley kicked a counterattack, Foster forced a breakthrough through Disassi and D after feeding the cake, Odobert scored a small angle volley, 1-0!
Trailing by a goal, Chelsea picked up their attacking tempo and played until the 34th minute when Enzo sent in a pick-and-cross that Sterling forced to steal from the spot under the interference of the opponent. In the 37th minute, Raheem Sterling picked up the ball on the left side of the penalty area and accelerated to break through the small angle volley, which was blocked by Trafford. However, in the 44th minute, Raheem Sterling's cross from the left flank refracted into the net on Dahirer, and the Blues finally equalized the scoreline, 1-1! With this lucky goal, Chelsea were able to go into the dressing room with a 1-1 scoreline.
Returning from the second half, Pochettino replaced Broia with Nicolas Jacquesson, aiming for a 3-pointer. In the 50th minute, Sterling used his ability to break into the box and cause Vitinho to foul, and the referee blew the whistle to award a penalty! New signing Palmer hit to make it 2-1 for Chelsea.
In the 58th minute, Raheem Sterling slid down the left flank and Nicolas Jacquesson's knockback was just right, but Enzo hit too well with a strong shot. Since joining Chelsea in January for 120 million, Enzo has made 26 Premier League appearances and has still not scored. In the 65th minute, Caicedo struggled to break the ball, Gallagher countered with a wonderful pass, Sterling inserted a push to score, and the score was changed to 3-1!
In the 74th minute, Palmer crossed from the right side of the box and Nicolas Jacquesson turned to the next city to give Chelsea a 4-1 lead.
For the rest of the day, the two teams did not achieve anything more, with Chelsea beating Burnley 4-1 to send the promoted side a crushing defeat. In this game, Sterling scored 1 goal, caused 1 own goal, 3 shots, 2 shots on target, and 2 breakthroughs, which can be called MVP.
