Chelsea 2 Burnley 0

 The Clarets saw their winning run come to an end as a goal just before the end of each half from defenders Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso gave new Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel his first victory in English football.

 The former Paris St Germain and Borussia Dortmund boss knew he had been in a game as the Clarets never made it easy for the former champions.

 But with injuries again beginning to take their toll, the Clarets didn’t carry sufficient goal threat to be able to keep alive the prospect of a fourth successive win in all competitions.

 And after back-to-back league wins and progress in the FA Cup had seen Sean Dyche’s men reached the end of a hectic January on a high this was just a Bridge too far as the Clarets stayed 15th in the table – still eight points clear of the relegation places – ahead of Wednesday night’s visit of league leaders Manchester City.

 The Clarets were without Josh Brownhill following the foot injury he sustained in the mid-week win over Aston Villa, which meant a first Premier League start of the season for Jack Cork back at the club where he started his career.
