Reece James' emphatic return reignites Chelsea with Thomas Tuchel's decisive tactical tweak

Reece James is back in form for Chelsea. How good does that feel?

The moment has arrived to get Chelsea’s fan favourite James back into your fantasy football team. He just loves a goal, doesn’t he!

Chelsea travelled up to Burnley, where they took all three points in style. Both teams needed the win, but the Blues proved to be the dominant side in the end. The first half finished in a goalless contest, with several missed chances at both ends of the pitch. However, James was the man to break the deadlock in a man of the match performance.

Thomas Tuchel has an absolute gem in his hands.

Four goals in one half for Chelsea is an anomaly. It rarely happens. With the way the match against Burnley had begun, I would have never predicted such a result. It took a half-time talk from Tuchel to unleash the beast that is James, and the rest was history. He is half the engine for this team, and his importance should not be understated.

A goal and assist delivered by the Englishman sent Chelsea towards victory against a very compact opponent. It would take a creative eye and clinical finish to unravel the Burnely defence, and that is exactly how the Blues secured all three points.

James was Chelsea's most creative player on the pitch. Just let that sink in. The wing-back never looks to disappoint when it comes to giving the attack a helping hand. He is that extra body, striving forward with a creative edge and clinical right foot. I mean, let's take a second to digest his welcome home present for the fans.

An easy pass from Trevoh Chalobah met James on the right flank. Already making his way into the final third, the Cobham graduate takes the ball and cuts right, then left, then right again before striking with his wicked right foot.
