Pulisic thumps the ball home from close range after Tarkowski diverts Mount’s cross into his path.
GOAL: Burnley 0 Chelsea 2
Pulisic moves the ball away from Tarkowski, whips in a cross to the back post and Havertz, who peeled off the back of Roberts, heads home.
GOAL: Burnley 0 Chelsea 1
It’s all too easy. James twists and turns McNeil inside the area after collecting Chalobah’s pass and drills the ball into the far corner.
Half-time: Burnley 0 Chelsea 0
The Clarets have worked the better openings, but it remains goalless at the break.
Headed clear
Jorginho powers a shot at goal and Roberts gets a head to the ball to divert it over the crossbar.
Missed opportunity
Great ball from Weghorst picks out McNeil, who drives at Chalobah, loses possession, gets a second chance when Rodriguez recovers the ball, but the winger fails to pick out Lennon inside the six yard box.
McNeil misses a sitter
Mendy makes a hash of his clearance when attempting to punch Westwood’s cross away under pressure from Rodriguez and, with the goal gaping, McNeil lifts his effort over the bar.
Off the line
Weghorst’s cushioned effort from Lennon’s cross is cleared off the line by Silva. Moments later, Collins gets above Chalobah to meet McNeil’s set-piece, but the defender can’t keep his header down.
McNeil started brightly
The Burnley winger has been vibrant in the opening quarter-of-an-hour. A lung-busting run prevented Saul from breaking, he beat Chalobah to Westwood’s lofted pass before winning a corner, and he’s pressing the ball hard.
Will the War of the Roses go down to the wire?
That would make things interesting for Burnley’s Charlie Taylor.
