Antonio Conte’s team went ahead in the 20th minute as Moses burst down the right and his cross went in off Kevin Long for an own goal.
Burnley levelled the score in the 64th minute thanks to Ashley Barnes, who deflected in Johann Berg Gudmundsson’s shot.
Chelsea restored their lead in five minutes through Moses. Emerson Palmeri’s cross found the wing-back at the far post and he fired in.
