Raheem Sterling inspired Chelsea to an impressive comeback win as Burnley slumped to their fifth successive Premier League home defeat of the campaign.<\/p>\n

Eighteen-year-old French forward Wilson Odobert marked his first Premier League start by drilling low and hard past Robert Sanchez to send home fans into raptures at Turf Moor.<\/p>\n

Chelsea were disjointed for spells but were back on level terms before half-time thanks to an unfortunate own goal.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A cross by Sterling, back in the starting XI after a virus, struck the knee of Belgium defender Ameen Al-Dakhil and looped over James Trafford into the net.<\/p>\n

Chelsea then scored three times in a strong second-half showing to take the points.<\/p>\n

Sterling, who has not featured for England since the World Cup, won a penalty after being fouled by Brazilian defender Vitinho, which allowed Cole Palmer to score his first goal for the Blues since moving from Manchester City.<\/p>\n

The four-time Premier League winner with Manchester City then scored his side\u2019s third with an arrowed finish after Conor Gallagher had spotted his run.<\/p>\n

Play restarted after Sterling\u2019s goal before referee Stuart Attwell stopped the game as a check by the video assistant referee (VAR) for a potential offside was continuing.<\/p>\n

However, the goal was eventually allowed to stand.<\/p>\n

Substitute Nicolas Jackson sealed the points with a spin and finish, with Sterling once again involved in the move.<\/p>\n

Having\u00a0won at Fulham\u00a0on Monday, it is the first time Chelsea have secured back-to-back away wins in the Premier League since October 2022.<\/p>\n
