A lot was being discussed as to who will partner Eric Bailly at the back of defence after Marcos Rojo’s injury ruled him out for the season. Mourinho decided to go with Daley Blind and the move paid dividends as the Dutch player gave a decisive performance and didn't allow Burnley a sniff of the goal.
Burnley’s attack, on the other hand, looked lost themselves and offered little going forward. This was only the second time in their Premier League history that they failed to have even a single shot on target.
0 - Burnley failed to land a shot on target in a PL home game for only the 2nd time in their history (also v Liverpool in Dec 2014). Blank.
