'Clear of Robertson' - Chelsea fans love what Ben Chilwell did against Burnley

Chelsea fans were loving one moment in particular from Ben Chilwell's performance against Burnley on Saturday.

The defender arrived from Leicester City in the summer in a deal believed to be worth around £45million.

He had to wait a little while to make his debut for the Blues after arriving with an injury, but has shown in his short time on the pitch just how valuable he can be.

His first appearance came in the Carabao Cup clash against Barnsley, where he created a goal in the 6-0 win, and he followed that up with a goal and an assists on his Premier League debut for the club in a 4-0 victory over Crystal Palace.

The left-back is first-choice now under Frank Lampard, and started again in the 3-0 win over Burnley at Turf Moor.

One moment in particular caught the eye for the 23-year-old, as a cute drag-back sent Burnley winger Robbie Brady skidding away - and the Blues fans are loving his recent displays.

The win against Burnley was Chelsea's third of the Premier league season, and their fifth game without defeat in the top division.

The result pushed them up towards the top four of the table after a couple of disappointing results against Liverpool and West Brom to start the season.

They have two home fixtures coming up before the next international break, with Rennes visiting Stamford Bridge in the Champions League on Wednesday, followed by a Premier League clash against Sheffield United on Saturday evening.
