EPL Round Up: Chelsea Trounce Burnley, Villa Demolish Southampton
Chelsea and Aston Villa recorded big wins in the Premier League on Saturday.
Fresh from the news that Roman Abramovich will sell the club, Chelsea needed a second half onslaught after a goalless first half to break Burnley's resistance.
Three goals in the opening nine second half minutes from Reece James and a Kai Havertz brace put daylight between the two sides before Cristian Pulisic added gloss on the scoreline with a fourth.
Aston Villa put away in-form Southampton 4-0 at Villa Park thanks to goals from Ollie Watkins, Douglas Luiz, Danny Ings and Philippe Coutinho.
Newcastle United put some daylight between themselves and the relegation zone with a vital 2-1 win over Brighton and Hove Albion while an Ivan Toney hattrick helped Brentford beat Norwich City 3-1 at Carrow Road.
Crystal Palace recorded a 2-0 win at Wolverhampton Wanderers after first half goals from Jean-Philippe Mateta and Wilfried Zaha.
In the early kick-off, Jesse Marsch's first game in charge of Leeds United ended in defeat as Leicester City won 1-0 at the King Power Stadium.
