Neto, Fernández Lift Chelsea to 2-0 Win at Burnley as Maresca Rotates

Chelsea enter home dates with Barcelona then Arsenal on the back of eight wins in 10.

Overview

  • Pedro Neto scored with a first-half diving header and Enzo Fernández added a late second to secure the points at Turf Moor.
  • Enzo Maresca made four changes, resting Moisés Caicedo and Wesley Fofana, and he substituted captain Reece James at half-time as a planned minutes-management move.
  • Maresca called it a tricky early kickoff after the international break and praised his side for a controlled display and another clean sheet.
  • Burnley fell to a third straight defeat, with Scott Parker saying he was very pleased with the performance despite limited chances.
  • Parker argued Burnley should have had a first-half penalty for a Trevoh Chalobah handball on a Robert Sánchez goal-kick and questioned whether VAR reviewed it.
