The Clarets, who were forced in to three changes from the 2-1 home defeat to Aston Villa, were denied an opener as VAR intervened to chalk off Jeff Hendrick's header. The hosts took the lead from the spot when Matt Lowton upended Willian before Abraham doubled the lead before the break. Hudson-Odoi completed the scoring early in the second half from Cesar Azpilicueta's cross.
9. Jack Cork 5
Never gave up the fight in the middle of the park, even though the visitors were being overrun. Got his foot in a number of times during the game to prevent Chelsea from breaking away.
10. Jeff Hendrick 5
The midfielder isn't a natural number 10, but he worked tirelessly to get involved. Sliced an early chance wide and then cruelly denied an opener when VAR intervened.
11. Chris Wood 5
Sidelined a number of times with a bloodied nose, which appeared to stunt his momentum. Wrestled well with Rudiger to try and make the ball stick in the final third, but failed to craft anything of significance.
12. Matej Vydra 4
Didn't really make an impression when replacing Hendrick in the second half. Had a number of opportunities to get on the ball, but his touch let him down and Chelsea were able to reclaim possession.
