On Monday evening in Burnley, at the "Turf Moore" stadium, the last match of the first round of the new season of the English Premier League took place, where the local "Burnley" and London's "Chelsea" clubs clashed.
Quite unexpectedly, supported by their own fans, Sean Dyche's players took the lead after 14 minutes with a goal from Scott Arfield.
However, the stadium soon fell silent when the newcomer to the "Chelsea" team, Diego Costa, scored a goal from the penalty area.
Feeling their game, the footballers in London quickly took the lead. In the 21st minute, after a phenomenal pass from another newcomer, Cesc Fabregas, Andre Schurrle sent the ball into the goal.
Before the break, controlling the game completely, Jose Mourinho's players scored another goal. This time, Serbian Branislav Ivanovic found the net.
In the second half, the "Chelsea" club successfully held the reins of the match in their hands and did not allow the opponents to reduce the difference while securing their first victory of the new season.
