Chelsea's new signings made them look like genuine title contenders as Frank Lampard's six new stars all shone from the start in their 3-0 victory at Burnley

Perhaps Boris Johnson pushed back his Saturday press conference from its original 4pm start because he'd paid the £14.95 to watch Chelsea. A wise decision from the PM if so.

For anyone who tuned in saw a performance of genuine Premier League title contenders on a cold October afternoon in Burnley, with the pieces falling into place for Frank Lampard.

All six of Lampard's summer signings — Timo Werner, Hakim Ziyech, Kai Havertz, Ben Chilwell, Thiago Silva and Edouard Mendy — started and excelled at Turf Moor.

There was another Mendy clean sheet, his fifth in succession.
