"Pedro Neto and Enzo Fernandez were on target as Chelsea moved up to second in the Premier League, for a few hours at least, with victory at Burnley. It wasn't a game that will live long in the memory but Chelsea won't care after leapfrogging Manchester City, who visit Newcastle tonight, and moving within three points of leaders Arsenal. The opener came eight minutes before half-time when Neto steered Jamie Gittens' cross past Martin Dubravka with a diving header."
"Neto was the best player on the pitch by a distance with the former Wolves man looking dangerous every time he got the ball. His team-mates lacked inspiration with a generally sloppy display characterised after five minutes when goalkeeper Robert Sanchez walloped a goal kick straight into the back of Fernandez's head. Quilindschy Hartman headed over and Jaidon Anthony saw a shot blocked as Burnley threatened early on."
Pedro Neto and Enzo Fernandez scored as Chelsea beat Burnley 2-0 and moved up to second in the Premier League for a few hours, sitting three points behind Arsenal. Neto opened the scoring eight minutes before half-time with a diving header from Jamie Gittens' cross. Fernandez sealed the win two minutes from time after substitute Marc Guiu's build-up. Chelsea were not fluent and Burnley offered limited quality, producing a sterile contest. Neto was the standout player. Robert Sanchez's goal kick struck Fernandez's head early. Burnley had early chances through Quilindschy Hartman and Jaidon Anthony, and Liam Delap forced a save.
