  BURNLEY RATINGS: Nick Pope - 5: The England international was regularly quick off his line, however, he should have done better for Ziyech’s opener. Getty

  Matthew Lowton - 6: Protected the ball nicely and almost set Barnes up for an early goal in the fifth minute. Getty

• 

  Kevin Long - 5: Should have been faster off the mark for Ziyech’s goal but did make a handful of big clearances. Reuters

  James Tarkowski - 6: It was another assured showing from Tarkowski and he rarely put a foot wrong at the back. EPA

  Charlie Taylor - 6: Worked hard to fight down the byline against James but just didn’t possess the quality necessary to create problems. EPA

• 

  Josh Brownhill - 6: Was a constant nuisance to the Blues and never gave up on the second ball. PA

  Ashley Westwood - 5: The captain showed grit and leadership in the second half but gave the ball away cheaply for Chelsea’s third goal. AFP

• 

  Dale Stephens - 5: Got around the pitch well and not afraid to get stuck in, although he could have done more for Chelsea’s opener. So little influence we couldn't find a pic of him in action. Hooked at half-time. AFP

• 

  Dwight McNeil - 5: Didn’t mind running into traffic in the name of opening up the game but failed to bring an edge to Burnley’s midfield. PA

• 

  Chris Wood - 4: Held the ball up well but ultimately lost his battle against Zouma. Reuters

• 

  Ashley Barnes - 4: Battled to try and make a difference up top but missed chance to open scoring by lifting the ball over the bar in the fifth minute. EPA

  Robbie Brady - (on for Barnes 73'): Fought hard but didn’t really get many chances to shine as Burnley struggled to get hold of the ball. Getty

• 

  CHELSEA RATINGS: Edouard Mendy - 7: Made an important intervention in the 5th minute but aside from that had very little to do in Lancashire. Reuters

• 

  Reece James - 8: In running for Man of the Match thanks to his confident defending and impeccable crossing. AFP

• 

  Thiago Silva - 8: Veteran put in a fine display. Hardly put a foot wrong and brought a coolness to Chelsea’s back four in the process. AP

• 

  Kurt Zouma - 8: Had a few lapses in concentration but more than made up for it with a powerful header to score Chelsea's second. EPA

• 

  Ben Chilwell - 7: Kept calm and did his job, not putting a foot wrong either going forward or at the back. Reuters

• 

  Mason Mount, 8: Caused plenty of danger, switched the ball from side to side with ease and showed a revived resilience in every passage of play he was involved in. PA

• 

  N’Golo Kante - 8: He never stopped working, put Burnley under constant pressure and retained possession at every opportunity. PA

• 

  Kai Havertz - 7: Floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee to give Chelsea an entirely different edge on the ball. EPA

• 

  Hakim Ziyech - 9: From opening his body up at will to grabbing a goal and an assist, Ziyech put in a performance to remember at Turf Moor. EPA

• 

  Timo Werner - 7: Once again showed why he’s known for being such a lethal finisher with a well-taken strike in the 70th minute. Getty

• 

  Tammy Abraham - 7: Turned provider by sitting deep and laying the ball off nicely for the opener. AP

• 

  SUBS: Callum Hudson-Odoi - (On for Ziyech 73') - 6: The youngster was active, wanted the ball and clearly tried to prove a point in his short stint.

• 

  Olivier Giroud - (On for Abraham 77') N/A: Unfortunate not to cap off a cameo appearance with a goal after poking a cross in with 10 minutes left to play but was ruled out for offside.

Frank Lampard felt his Chelsea side took "a nice step forward" as they made light work of Burnley with a 3-0 win at Turf Moor on Saturday.

The Blues followed up their 4-0 thrashing of FC Krasnodar in midweek with another clean sheet and another productive day in front of goal, as Hakim Ziyech, Kurt Zouma and Timo Werner all found the target in a confident display.

There were also fine displays on either flank from Ben Chilwell and Reece James, who helped add to both the attacking verve and defensive shape of a team on the up.

Lampard's summer spending spree looks to be paying off as his combinations settle into their work and, although he was quick to point out there is plenty still to do, he cut a satisfied figure at the end of the game.

"It was a complete performance," he said. "This feels like a nice step forward. We're nowhere near the end of the road but it was a really good display and a solid one too. Certainly, we have a nice bit of momentum.

"We brought players in who didn't have a pre-season so we knew we couldn't throw everything in the air and have it all land perfectly. But clean sheets are a great sign of the spine in the team.

"When you're keeping clean sheets and scoring goals you know you're going in the right direction. I'm not going to jump up and down after a win, but I really enjoyed that performance. We were much more positive in our style of forward passing and that's all part of the process."
