The Streaker: Chelsea smoked Burnley with an amazing goal

Burnley was promoted to the English Premier League for the 2014-15 season and Chelsea kindly decided to welcome it with what is already a Goal of the Year candidate.

It started harmlessly enough as Burnley recovered on an Eden Hazard run down the middle of the pitch. Hazard then kicked it out wide to Branislav Ivanovic, who played it back to the top of the 18 for Cesc Fabregas. Fabregas gave a quick touch pass to a racing Andre Schurrle to the right post and it was all the Burnley defenders could do to keep from standing with their mouths agape as Chelsea celebrated its second goal.

The best part of the whole interchange was the reaction from the Burnley defenders. Only midfielder Scott Arfield raised his hand for offside as the rest realized they'd clearly been bested by a superior passing squad.

Burnely would go on to lose the match, 3-1.
