Arrival in the summer, Hakim Ziyech joined Chelsea from Ajax for a fee of £ 33.3 million
Hakim Ziyech scored his first Premier League goal when Chelsea managed to win winless Burnley at Turf Moor.
In his first league start with the Blues, Ziyech deflected Burnley goalkeeper Nick Pope and deftly dispatched Tammy Abraham’s sacking in the 26th minute.
Defender Kurt Zouma doubled the lead just after the hour, climbing higher to head home on a corner from Mason Mount.
And the arrival of summer, Ziyech, became provider seven minutes later, sliding through Timo Werner, who dodged an effort past the Pope.
Chelsea move up to fourth place while Burnley remains 18th in the table, with Ashley Barnes missing one of the few opportunities for the Clarets when she scored the goal in the opening minutes.

Chelsea have now kept four consecutive clean sheets in all competitions.
Chelsea ended a straight scoreless draw streak by emphatically defeating FK Krasnodar of the Russian Premier League 4-0 in the Champions League on Wednesday.
And his attackers were back in full force with a header from Abraham that forced Pope to make a routine save shortly before Ziyech’s opener.
After shooting blanks in his first three Chelsea appearances, former Ajax winger Ziyech has now scored two out of two. The 27-year-old looked more and more spirited, scoring and assisting as Chelsea’s new attack continued to shine.
The six key signings of the visitors in the summer, Kai Havertz, Ben Chilwell, Edouard Mendy, Thiago Silva, Ziyech and Werner started for the first time after Werner replaced Christian Pulisic, who awaits a scan after spraining his tendon. hock in warm-up.
And, after recovering from initial pressure from Burnley in the second half, goals from Zouma and Werner sank the hosts before substitute Olivier Giroud slipped a low cross from Chilwell only to be flagged for offside.
The Blues, who have often been criticized for looking too heavy this season, were rarely threatened at the back, Barnes’ first shot was the only time a fourth straight clean sheet seemed in doubt.
Burnley have not won in the Premier League since a 2-0 win over Norwich last July.
Burnley’s loss comes in the context of a £ 200 million takeover bid from Egyptian businessman Mohamed El Kashashy and lawyer Chris Farnell.
Despite Sean Dyche repeatedly calling for his team to get stronger, permanent signings this summer were limited to Brighton midfielder Dale Stephens and substitute goalkeeper Will Norris.
And Stephens, who started for the third time this season, was recalled by Dyche at halftime as Burnley struggled to maintain possession.
Barnes could have given the hosts an early lead, but failed to punish Chelsea’s high line, deflecting his effort when he was tagged by winger Matthew Lowton.
The Lancashire side were unlucky in their loss to Tottenham last week and should have come out with all three points in the previous game at West Brom.
But against a fit Chelsea, they looked toothless, with this latest loss meaning they have accumulated just one point in their first six games.
Whats Next?
Burnley will play at Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League on Friday, November 6 (17:30 GMT) while Chelsea will return to European action, hosting Rennes in the Champions League on Wednesday, November 4 (20:00 ).
