Early days yet it looked like Morata had shaken off the 'confidence' issue.

Took his goal well, brought other saves from Hart and when he did miss it was generally close.

Had a nightmare with the stream yesterday, tried two and they worked a bit yet then got stuck, I tried refreshing and restarting with mixed results. 

Kante probably deserves a mention, didn't notice anything outstanding just his clever positioning and passes to keep the ball moving and the momentum with  us.

Willian was a revelation yesterday playing down the left and it hit me this has happened before when he replaces Hazard on the left.  Hope Hazard can be rested more often if Willian is fit and the criticism about Willian's lack of product on the right is probably due to him not playing in his preferred position.

Let's hope Morata's form has returned and we now know we have more cover in midfield than we have had for a couple of seasons.

Outstanding performance, one touch passes clicked, carved them up over and over again, and changes were taken. Had Joe Hart not had one of his 9.5 game, we'd have put 5-6 past them. Players took responsibilities when Hazard was out, everyone stood up and be counted. Rudiger was commanding at the back, Kante was everywhere, Barkley was scoring and creating, even Morata had his best game of the season. From the forgotten one, Barkley looked like a chosen one right now. Against lesser teams, he's able take more risks creating and scoring. Hell, if we play City tomorrow, he'd still get the start. Morata's running and first touch passes created havoc for their defence, scored the vital first goal to set the tone. He missed a couple of good chances, but still a huge improvement. I'd love to check that 'dive' again, the defender touched him, maybe not penalty worthy but that was worth a shout. How the f* that defender got away with only a yellow with unprovoked psychical attack? Willian reminded us he's a good player on his day again, hopefully he will have a few more good ones, that shot was glorious. Can't wait for the next game, because we are not only winning, but playing the best football for a decade.

We played so well that there is no mention of Jorginho and Kante

Little stat posted up by the club. Brilliant from the midfield three to ensure they wasn't wasteful in possession. 

Pass completion v Burnley:

Jorginho 92%
Kante 94%
Barkley 95%
