Thomas Tuchel won his first game in charge of Chelsea after a 2-0 victory against Burnley at Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon.
Match Reports
Chelsea climb up to seventh in the Premier League but made it much harder for themselves than it should have been on Sunday afternoon in west London.
Cesar Azpilicueta netted the first of the Tuchel era as they took the lead in the 41st minute, smashing home past Nick Pope from close range.
Marcos Alonso secured the three points six minutes from time with a fantastic volley at the near post.

Top 3 MOTM (anything else is wrong) 1. CHO 2. Mount 3. Thiago Silva Special mentions to Azpi and Alonso for the lovely goals and we played great all round, only Tammy had a bad game imo. We could've won by more but something to build on. KTBFFH

I don't know why many people underrate Hudson-Odoi a lot,Some people don't even compare him to Foden,Saka and Greenwood,For me he is in the discussion and many might say he is better than them.🔥💎💙

1. The decision to start Alonso paid off. He was the focal point of our attack. What a goal from him. 2. CHO was terrific today. He could have easily had a hat trick of assists had our players finished his crosses. 3. Jorginho and Kovaciç were outstanding their role. Quick movements and distribution of the ball. Mount too. 4. Our defence was solid too. Burnley had no attempt at goal for the entire game. We are gradually getting it right. 5. We are still building the team under Tuchel but he seems to have a defined plan and it is working so far. Go Chelsea! in Thomas we trust
