London: Chelsea showed the killer instinct Frank Lampard has demanded as Callum Hudson-Odoi scored his first Premier League goal and Tammy Abraham was back on target in Saturday's 3-0 win against Burnley. Lampard's side have taken more points on their travels than they have in west London this season after a series of frustrating performances at Stamford Bridge. The Blues boss has questioned whether his young Chelsea team have the "balls" to cope with the stress of breaking down defensive opponents after surprise home defeats against West Ham, Bournemouth and Southampton this season.

But Chelsea proved they have the nous required to turn possession into tangible rewards at the Bridge as Jorginho's penalty opened the scoring in the first half against a Burnley side set up to frustrate. Abraham's 15th Chelsea goal of his breakthrough season doubled the lead and Hudson-Odoi finished off Burnley soon after half-time. Hudson Odoi's maiden top-flight effort was a welcome boost for the teenager, who has admitted struggling to recapture last season's impressive form due to fears he will suffer a recurrence of April's Achilles injury.
