The Blues are back! Raheem Sterling sparks a stupendous comeback as Chelsea dominate Burnley 4-1 at Turf Moor on the heels of Englishman.
It wasn’t a pretty showing from the Blues, but a dominant final 45 minutes showed what Pochettino’s squad is capable of. Winger Raheem Sterling stole the show, forcing an own-goal to open the scoring for Chelsea, scoring his own and then delivering a blistering assist late in the match.
Burnley opened the scoring just 15 minutes in through 18-year-old winger Wilson Odobert, and the young Frenchman caused havoc all match, with Marc Cucurella likely to have nightmares about their 1v1 duels. With the opening goal in their hands, it looked as though the match was Burnley’s to lose, but Sterling’s forced own-goal just before the halftime whistle gave the Blues a lifeline, and sparked the comeback.
