Thomas Tuchel celebrated his first victory for Chelsea by firing a warning at his attackers after a comfortable 2-0 win over Burnley.
The emphatic shots of César Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso were enough to seal victory against a far below average Claret team.
Azpilicueta drilled the dismissal of Callum Hudson-Odoi over Nick Pope just before the break in the Premier League clash at Stamford Bridge.
Also Azpilicueta’s Spanish defender, Alonso, returned to the side after being rejected by Frank Lampard, adding a classy second at the end.
The winger deftly controlled a Christian Pulisic cross before volleying Pope on his first post.
Talking to BT sport After the match, Tuchel He said: “I am very satisfied with the performance – defensive and offensive – and it is very important to have a victory.
“It gives us a boost and as much confidence as possible.
“We controlled the game completely and never lost intensity, focus or awareness. They (Burnley) play an incredible amount of long balls all the time and they fight. “
Higher finishes and Werner fights
Both Chelsea goals were scored by defenders and Tuchel said his forwards need to fine-tune their shot.
He added: “It should be a sign to our guys up front that we needed defensive players to score. We lacked precision in the last pass and touch. But in the end we will absolutely work on this.
“We had a lot of touches, half chances and deliveries in the area. But in the end I couldn’t care less. “
As for Timo Werner’s ongoing struggles – the striker hasn’t scored in the league since November 7 – Tuchel added: “We can’t expect him to change from minute to minute or from day to day.
“He is not the only striker in the world who is very sensitive when he does not score, when he loses the feeling of scoring.
“We may need a stupid goal for him, a detour, but we will keep pushing him.”
