Chelsea vs Burnley, Premier League: Alonso and Azpilicueta goals give Tuchel first win

New Delhi: Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcus Alonso registered goals as Chelsea defeated Burnley 2-0 in the Premier League 2020-21 season on Sunday here at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues dominated the bulk of ball possession and Burnley did not threaten at any stage and Chelsea looked comfortable at every stage. In the second half, Alonso then registered the second goal for Chelsea in the 84th minute and with this, the hosts gained a 2-0 lead.

Chelsea registered eight shots on target and Burnley was able to register no shot on target, allowing the Blues to dominate the match. Earlier this week, Chelsea had sacked Frank Lampard as their head coach, and the Englishman was replaced by Thomas Tuchel.

That should seal the win and WHAT a way to do it! Alonso finds himself in space in the area, tees it up and volleys home ? Great strike
