(Video): Chelsea lead at Burnley after Cole Palmer’s first Blues goal

Chelsea are in front at Burnley!

We were hoping they’d come out of the traps quickly after half time and they certainly did. Raheem Sterling created the equaliser with his direct running down the left, and he’s just won a penalty for the second too.

Cole Palmer is a very interesting choice of penalty taker given he’s young and new to the team, but we’re not complaining. He looked very cool despite a long delay and put the ball away with ease for his first goal as a Chelsea player.

You can see the incident and the penalty in the clips embedded here:
