Chelsea beat Burnley 4-1 as the Londoners continue their perfect October run

Chelsea are definitely back!

After going through a painful September, which saw them collapsing horribly with a single goal scored for the entire month, things seem to be improving massively for the Blues.

Just ask Vincent Kompany.

Burnley have suffered a deserved 4-1 home loss to Mauricio Pochettino's side on Saturday afternoon despite breaking the deadlock early in the first half.

However, despite Odobert's 15-minute opener, Chelsea never seemed to be losing their focus and determination. And that's something we were not used to seeing when it comes to Poch's team.

With a tad bit of luck and Burnley's own goal following Sterling's cross, the Londoners levelled the score and changed the course of the game a few minutes before the break.

When the squads returned from the locker rooms, we got ourselves a one-sided game, with the Blues rushing to a statement win.

Cole Palmer put them in front from a spot after Sterling was taken down on the edge of the area.

The latter finally put his name to a scoresheet, too, in the 65th minute to wrap up the game with so much time still on the clock.

Last but not least, high-flying Nicolas Jackson (Chelsea's only scorer in the entire September) dashed into the box for the fourth sweet of this remarkable Blues' party.

Poch's steamroller is back on track.
