Moses shoots down Burnley

Victor Moses was in fantastic form tonight as he inspired Chelsea to a hard fought 2-1 victory over in-form Burnley at Turf Moor.

The Super Eagles star was in the mood as he stretched the back-line of the Clarets from his wing-back role and there wasn’t any surprise when he forced an own goal inside the first 21minutes of the encounter.

Moses received a brilliant pass from England center back, Gary Cahill and immediately sent in a powerful low cross which was turned into his own net by Kevin Long.

Chelsea went into the break with the 1-0 lead and in the second half the Nigerian continued his mesmerising form as he drove forward and unleashed a shot but it was routinely dealt with by Nick Pope in goal for the home side.

At the other end, Burnley equalised when a shot Johann Berg Gudmundsson’s shot bounced of the heel of Ashley Barnes and creep past Thibaut Courtois to make it 1-1 in the 66th minute.

But four minutes later, Victor Moses popped up to send a low shot past the goalkeeper and restored Chelsea lead to the joy of the travelling Blues supporters. The goal was Moses’s third premier league goal of the season after scoring against West Brom and Brighton.

With the victory Chelsea retain their slim hope of UEFA Champions League with 63points in fifth, five points adrift fourth placed Tottentham while Burnley sit seventh with 52 points.
