Chelsea beat Burnley easily at Turf Moor yesterday, and the Blues’ performance got a lot of people purring.
They tore into the Clarets with abandon, and Christian Pulisic’s three goal set us on our way to a comfortable win.
He, Mateo Kovacic and Fikayo Tomori got a lot of the praise, but there were other standouts too. Willian scored the vital goal, and Kurt Zouma’s performances have been going under the radar too. Mason Mount had a quiet game but swung in the perfect cross for Pulisic to head home and seal the game. All of these players played more understated, but still important, roles in the win.

Zouma and Tomori are the best duo in the premier league

Let's not forget how Mason mount's work rate, goal scoring threat and movement is making teams commit less ppl forward, making the job easier for those 2. https://t.co/iPFNCUANm4

Zouma has equally been as good, if not better too. Excellent partnership they’re forming together.
