Chelsea 'unprepared' for Premier League title defence - Pat Nevin
Gary Cahill was sent off for Chelsea after 16 minutes
Chelsea were downed 3-2 by the Clarets as their title defence got underway in disastrous circumstances at Stamford Bridge.
The Blues finished the game with nine men - first Gary Cahill and then Cesc Fabregas seeing red - to make it four dismissals in three successive games for Antonio Conte's side.
Conte has already spent £140million on four new players this summer.
Record signing Alvaro Morata was given 30 minutes to turn the tide with Chelsea 3-0 down and duly scored and assisted David Luiz's goal in a spirited but ultimately incomplete comeback.
And former Blues great Nevin believes Burnley exposed the champions' lack of squad depth.
