Some Chelsea fans singled out star Willian for his shocking dive during the first-half of their clash against Burnley which resulted in the Brazilian being yellow carded.
Chelsea went into half-time with a 1-0 lead thanks to a goal from Alvaro Morata after a perfectly weighted pass from in-form midfielder Ross Barkley.
Chelsea managed to create several chances during the first half and the Blues should have have really went into the break with more to show for their excellent chance creation this afternoon.
