Chelsea had an inauspicious start to the season when they lost Cahill to a straight red card within the first 15 minutes and Sam Vokes opened the scoring for Burnley at Stamford Bridge midway through the first half.
Meanwhile, Burnley manager Sean Dyche knows that winning away to the champions in the first game is only a small step in their bid to yet again stay in the Premier League. "I suspect the manager was behind it. He asked for that to happen".
"In recent games we have finished with nine or 10 men. I'm here with my parents and people who respect me".
Eden Hazard, Pedro Rodriguez and Tiemoue Bakayoko are injured, striker Diego Costa is estranged, and Conte has a threadbare squad after selling midfield anchorman Nemanja Matic to rival Manchester United and loaning out many of the club's youngsters. We kept a good shape early in the game, but the sending off makes a big difference.
"It quietens down a few stories", Dyche said to Sky Sports. It was his 199th Premier League goal and first for Everton since 2004.
Chelsea controlled the first 13 minutes, but saw a major obstacle in the 14th minute when Gary Cahill went studs up into Steven Defour.
"Second half, do we keep going or try to contain? I think we have to restart from there". "This grumbling began at the end of last season, and it picked up momentum from the minute they won the title".
Half-time substitute Morata and Luiz reduced the arrears in the second half, either side of Fabregass 81st-minute dismissal for a second yellow card, but Burnley hung on for a famous victory. Mine are still growing and improving with that. They have always treated me so well, always, always.
"If you don't break that pressing line, it can be difficult". "After this red card we lost our composure", the Italian told reporters.
In an interview with the Daily Mail, Costa has accused his manager of preventing him from signing a new contract at Stamford Bridge and claiming he is not close with any of his teammates.
Conte added: "We must focus on working very hard with these players".
"As for the transfer market, the club is trying to do the best".
