Chelsea moved up to second place in the Premier League rankings with a 2-0 win against Burnley in Saturday’s early kickoff.

The Blues entered the November international break after defeating Wolves 3-0.

Enzo Maresca’s team continued their winning streak with an early goal from Pedro Neto.

Neto was on the end of a scooped cross from Jamie Gittens to open the scoring, as Chelsea went into halftime 1-0 up.

Although Burnley fought back in a bid to level the match, it was Chelsea who struck again through midfielder Enzo Fernandez.

The result means they now have 23 points, one more than Manchester City, who travel to Newcastle later in the evening.

They remain three points behind leaders Arsenal.
