Nigerian international, Victor Moses, netted the third goal in Chelsea’s 3-0 drubbing of Burnley at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
Chelsea, with the win, has risen to the top of the English Premier League table on nine points.
Eden Hazard sent the home side into a ninth-minute lead with a curling effort from distance, before Willian and Moses added a second and third during what was a comfortable afternoon for Antonio Conte’s side.
Chelsea were the more forward-thinking outfit in the early exchanges and had the lead in the ninth minute of play when Hazard drove to the edge of the Burnley box before curling his effort into the bottom corner past Tom Heaton.
Hazard had a golden chance to score a second just six minutes later when the Belgian once again found space inside the Burnley box, but Ben Mee was on hand to clear off the line, before Gary Cahill just missed the target with a volley.
Chelsea had their second in the 42nd minute, however, when Costa found Willian in a wide position and the Brazilian took a touch outside his full-back before drilling the ball across Heaton into the corner of the net.
Heaton continued to impress between the sticks for Burnley as the goalkeeper, who travelled with the England squad for Euro 2016, made a super save to keep out Hazard with little under 30 minutes of football to play in the capital.
There was time for one more goal, meanwhile, as the three substitutes – Michy Batshuayi, Pedro and Moses – all combined and it was Moses that converted at the far post to make it 3-0 on the afternoon.
Next up for Chelsea is a trip to Swansea City after the international break on September 11, while Burnley will attempt to return to winning ways when they welcome Hull City to Turf Moor on September 10.
