Ross Barkley was the star of the show as Chelsea swept aside Burnley last weekend.

Ross Barkley stepped forth into the limelight in Eden Hazard’s absence for Chelsea the weekend past, and he did not disappoint in any way whatsoever. The Englishman capped off a superb performance with a goal and 2 assists, to help seal a 4-0 victory for Chelsea.

This was but a glimpse of what Barkley is capable of when he’s in form, being played centrally, and has full freedom. Burnley simply couldn’t cope with his agility between the lines, and he played the match-winning role.

At just 24-years-old, Ross Barkley is finally shaping into the player we all thought he would become just a few years ago. He has fought to earn back his England place successfully, and he is now pushing hard for a starting place at Stamford Bridge week-in, week-out. With the way he’s playing and the talent he possesses, who say’s he can’t achieve that?
