Chelsea cruised to a 3-0 win over Burnley at Stamford Bridge to put them top of the Premier League. More
90+2 Mark Clattenburg puts Burnley out of their misery, 3-0 to Chelsea, who go top!
88' Ball over the top frees Kalou, he has the better of Bikey and chips it past Jensen and this will be four but what a clearance by Mears! The ex-sprinter appeared from nowhere and, in one movement, spins on the goal line to clip it away from just inside the far post!
83' CHELSEA SUB: Ballack comes off to a standing ovation. Mikel on.
82' Neat Chelsea move, Lampard and Ballack combine, the latter threads it through to ANELKA WHO SLIDES IT PAST JENSEN but he is offside.
81' Essien to Kalou on the left who just helps it on to Anelka, but he is offside.
79' Guerrero is on for Burnley and concedes a corner after almost handling in the box under pressure from Kalou.
78' Good near-post delivery and Ballack flies in with the flick but a super save again from Jensen! Corner to Chelsea. Jensen has been one of the best players on the park today.
77' Anelka on the left, back to Lampard who feeds Essien on the edge of the D, he shapes to shoot, swivels one way and hammers in a superb drive but a great tip away by Jensen!
75' Carlisle wins a free-kick on the Burnley right, but it is held up for a CHELSEA SUB: Drogba comes off for Kalou.
74' BURNLEY SUB: Veteran Alexander comes off for McDonald.
67' Essien on the ball, he slides it through for Lampard, it is blocked but falls to Essien again who bursts towards goal and drills in a left-foot shot towards the bottom right but well saved by Jensen diving low, corner.
65' CHELSEA SUB: Belletti comes on for Bosingwa.
64' Poor Bikey has been in the wars today, he needs more treatment on that knee.
60' Deco with a cheeky flick, now Lampard to play it in to Drogba, who backheels it back to Lampard who puts it back into the box for Drogba but he fires over. Lovely one-touch play, shame about the finish.
59' BURNLEY SUB: Gudjonsson on for Paterson, who missed a sitter in the first half.
52' Wide from Essien to Cole on the left, a one-two with Lampard and it bounces in front of Alexander AND COLE FLIES IN WITH A HALF-VOLLEY INTO THE TOP RIGHT! CRACKING GOAL! 3-0.
49' Cole flies down the left and Mears chops him down, yellow card and a free-kick in a dangerous position.
47' Cole wins it on the left, the ball is played long over to Anelka who flicks on, Burnley half-clear but Chelsea are rampant and Anelka down the left with a brilliant disguised pass to Lampard who crosses over the six-yard box, Jensen is isolated, McCann flies across but cannot get a touch AND BALLACK WITH THE DIVING HEADER MAKES IT 2-0! Game, set and match. Two goals in quick succession and Chelsea are cruising.
46' Second half underway!!
45+3 Half-time, Chelsea 1-0 up thanks to Nicolas Anelka's second goal in Premier League three games this season.
45+2 Essien slides it right-centre from half-way, Drogba races away from Bikey's arm-in-the-air, Chelsea could be in here AND DROGBA DRILLS IT ACROSS JENSEN FOR ANELKA AT THE FAR POST IN OFF THE POST AND 1-0! Chelsea take the lead right on the stroke of half-time.
44' Burnley lose the ball in their own half, Drogba powers down the left away from Fletcher, holds him off and feeds LAMPARD WHO MUST FINISH but he takes a touch and it spins off his shin into the grateful arms of Jensen!
33' Elliott loses the ball, played by Deco to Essien into Drogba, he takes one man out with a brilliant piece of skill, Bikey slips but a great last-ditch tackle from Carlisle to nick it away from him.
27' Terry plays it wide to Cole who hits the byline and puts in a useless cross but was offside anyway.
23' Deco swings in the corner, Carvalho flies in BUT TERRY CONTROLS AND FIRES IT ON GOAL AND JENSEN PARRIES!
22' A bit scrappy but Essien now gets his foot on it, Drogba gets the ball, shrugs off Bikey, spins inside Mears and bends it far post but deflected wide! Corner.
21' Bosingwa plays it in for Deco but it gets caught under his feet and Alexander can clear. Mistake from Elliot, slid through to Ballack who turns brilliantly past Bikey and must score but his chip is well parried by Jensen! Great save!
9' Terry is dilly-dallying at the back, Mears robs him, he's got a tight angle BUT HE SPOTS PATERSON, PATERSON IS FREE AND MUST SCORE BUT HE SOMEHOW PUTS IT WIDE!! How did he not score? Shocking miss and his head is in his hands.
8' Burnley counter, played through to McCann who is in but Terry slides across, it ricochets off him and flies over!
7' BIkey with a terrible error, Anelka is in, he is clean through, he must score but a shocking second touch takes it into Jensen's arms when he should have finished or gone round him!
1' Match underway at Stamford Bridge!
