Paul Merson reflects on Chelsea's 3-0 win over Burnley in the Premier League

Paul Merson offers his verdict after Chelsea's 3-0 victory over Burnley at Stamford Bridge in Match In A Minute.

Antonio Conte notched his third consecutive Premier League victory as Chelsea swept Burnley aside on Saturday.

Having appeared to shake shrugged off his poor showing last season, the revitalised Eden Hazard struck early on, rounding off a sensational solo effort with a low finish to set the Blues on their way to victory.

From that point on Burnley were outclassed on a difficult afternoon in west London, and Willian added a second shortly before half-time to underscore the hosts' superiority.

The visitors managed to prevent a rampant Chelsea side from running amok in the second period, with captain and goalkeeper Tim Heaton in inspired form between the sticks.

But the England stopper was breached once last time in the final minute as substitutes Michy Batshuayi and Pedro combine to set up Victor Moses for the Chelsea's third.
