Ross Barkley stars for Chelsea: Player ratings from 4-0 win over Burnley

Published by

Chelsea were impressive in their 4-0 win over Burnley, even if they were without Eden Hazard. Alvaro Morata opened the scoring in the 22nd minute as we headed into the break with a one-goal lead.

Ross Barkley and Willian scored in the second half before Ruben Loftus-Cheek added the fourth in the 92nd minute.

The three points lifted us to second in the table behind Liverpool until Manchester City played Tottenham on Monday.

There were a number of impressive players at Turf Moor, and here are the player ratings from the game.

Kepa Arrizabalaga – 6.5/10

The youngster wasn’t troubled much in the game and did well-collecting crosses from the Burnley attackers.

Cesar Azpilicueta – 7.5/10

Azpilicueta was attacking more than usual on his side, and barely was troubled in the game by the Burnley team.

Antonio Rudiger – 7.5/10

Rudiger had a brilliant game at the back and his passing was on point too.

David Luiz – 7/10

The Brazilian had a decent game at the back as the pairing of Rudiger and Luiz kept another clean sheet.

Marcos Alonso – 7/10

Alonso did a good job at the back and joined the attack when he needed to.

N’Golo Kante – 8/10

Another solid performance from the Frenchman as he kept things running for the Blues and ensured Burnley couldn’t do much.

Jorginho – 7.5/10

Jorginho is important to Chelsea’s style and the midfielder did his normal bit before being replaced by Cesc Fabregas.

Ross Barkley – 8.5/10

This is the Barkley we saw at Everton as the Englishman scored yet another goal and provided a couple of assists for Chelsea.

Pedro – 4/10

The Spaniard didn’t get a lot of time on the pitch and was replaced after 30 minutes.

Alvaro Morata – 8/10

This was a great performance from the Spaniard. Morata scored once and also missed the target after a great turn in the box.

Willian – 8/10

The Brazilian had a great game and got a goal for his hard work on the pitch.

Substitutes

Ruben Loftus-Cheek – 7.5/10

Loftus-Cheek was brought on after 30 minutes for Pedro and was rewarded with a goal right at the end of the game.

Olivier Giroud – 6/10

The Frenchman went close to scoring after coming on but did a decent job as a sub.
