EPL 2017/18: Chelsea 2-3 Burnley, 5 Talking Points

<p>

#3 Will Sam Vokes lead the Burnley attack-line throughout the season?

<p>

With all eyes on the strike-force of defending champions, few had thought that Sam Vokes will go on to steal all the post-match headlines. Making a mockery of Chelsea's makeshift back three, the 27-year-old struck twice in the first half to take his goal tally to six in the last four PL matches.

With the departure of Andre Gray, speculations were rife that Burnley are on the lookout for a replacement. However, with Vokes grabbing the opportunity handed to him, it's now up to the Burnley board to decide whether they need an established striker or do they invest that money elsewhere and let the Welshman lead the line.
