 Diego Costa scored on his Chelsea debut as the title favourites came from behind to outclass newly-promoted Burnley at Turf Moor.

There was a threat of an upset as Burnley's Scott Arfield opened the scoring with a stunner from distance.

But Burnley's lead was short-lived as Costa levelled with a simple tap-in.

Andre Schurrle scored Chelsea's second after a cute Cesc Fabregas pass and Branislav Ivanovic struck from a corner to put his team in command.

While Chelsea were unable to add to their goal tally in the second half - although the returning Didier Drogba did go close with a volley when he came on as a late substitute - it was a performance which fully justified why many expect Jose Mourinho's men to be Premier League champions in May.
