Christian Pulisic scored his first Premier League goals for Chelsea with a hat-trick and Willian added another in an entertaining 4-2 win at Burnley on Saturday.

Pulisic, who made his first league start since the end of August, was on target twice in the first half and made it 3-0 with a sublime header after the break before Willian got the fourth, stretching Chelsea's streak to seven successive wins in all competitions.

The win left Chelsea fourth while Burnley are 11th after a tepid performance in their 200th Premier League fixture and 100th at Turf Moor.

The 21-year-old American, who became the youngest Chelsea player to score a hat-trick, fired the visitors ahead in the 21st minute after shaking off two defenders and doubled their advantage with a deflected shot on the stroke of half-time.

The US international capped a stellar performance in the 56th before the lively Willian fired an arrowed shot into the far corner from 12 metres after neat footwork in the area.

Chelsea then had a penalty rescinded after a VAR check before Burnley scored two late goals, as Jay Rodriguez rifled in a piledriver from 25 metres in the 86th minute and Dwight McNeil drove home a deflected effort three minutes later.
