Chelsea moved to within three points of Premier League leaders Arsenal after a 2-0 victory away at Burnley on Saturday.
Pedro Neto broke the deadlock in the 37th minute when he rose to meet a curled cross at the back post and headed the Blues in front. The second goal came late in the game, with Enzo Fernández smashing home a finish after a counterattack orchestrated by substitute Marc Guiu.
Despite a sluggish start and the absence of key midfielder Moïses Caicedo, Blues gradually asserted control and limited Burnley to virtually no clear chances. The win marks Chelsea’s third consecutive league triumph and extends their dominance at Turf Moor with a seventh straight victory there.
Burnley, meanwhile, suffered a third straight defeat and remain on 10 points from 12 games, hovering in the relegation-threatened zone. For Chelsea, the victory is timely as they gear up for high-stakes matches ahead, including a trip to face Barcelona and a showdown with Arsenal.
In short, Blues display combined solidity at the back with moments of attacking precision—and now they stand poised to press for the title chase.
