Chelsea Register First Win Of The Thomas Tuchel Era Against Burnley

, 7 news, 2 views

Cesar Azpilicueta scored the first goal of the Thomas Tuchel era and forgotten man Marcos Alonso produced a stunning finish, as dominant Chelsea earned a 2-0 win against toothless Burnley on Sunday. The former Paris Saint-German boss was brought in to replace Frank Lampard last week, with a brief to haul stuttering Chelsea back into the race for Champions League spots. He endured a frustrating goalless stalemate against Wolves at Stamford Bridge in midweek, and Burnley also promised to be awkward opponents before fading as the match wore on.

Tuchel's team dominated the encounter, limiting Burnley to a single attempt on goal but struggled to break them down.

But two moments of magic from Azpilicueta and Alonso mean the German now has four points from six after two matches at the helm.
