Champions Chelsea FC Make Awful Start, Losing 3-2 As English Premier League Returns

Antonio Conte’s Chelsea side made the worst possible start to their defense of the English Premier League title as they suffered a 3-2 reverse at the hands of underdogs Burnley — and in truth the result could have been much worse for a club that seems to be suffering an entirely unnecessary meltdown. The first […]
