With the three points in the bag, Chelsea still have a slim chance of qualifying for the Champions League next season.
The gap between Chelsea and fourth placed Tottenham Hotspur, remains five points, with just four games to go.
Unless Tottenham have something akin to a melt-down then the Europa League could well be our reward for a spluttering defence of the Premier League title we won last season.
However, following the 2-1 win at Turf Moor, a decent result considering Burnley’s recent form, we’ve delved into the form and record books to come up with a plethora of interesting facts and figures.
• The win, at Turf Moor, was the first-time Chelsea have won back-to-back Premier League games in 2018.
• The game, against Burnley, was Antonio Conte’s 100th match in charge of Chelsea, in all competitions, the Italian has won 65 of those, only Jose Mourinho has a better record than that with the ‘Special One’ winning 72.
• 2 of the last 8 goals Chelsea have scored have been own-goals, it took a total of 167 games for Chelsea to benefit from their previous 2 own-goals.
• Antonio Conte, in this fixture, gave 2 Italians the opportunity to pull on the famous shirt of Chelsea, Emerson and Zappacosta, surprisingly this is the first time Chelsea have had two Italians in a fixture since May 2003 when Cudicini and Zola played against Liverpool.
• The game last night was the 500th game that has been played on a Thursday night in top-flight history.
