Coyle: We had a lesson

Burnley manager Owen Coyle admitted that his side were taught a footballing lesson during the 3-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge.Coyle's side, promoted via the play-offs last season, have already beaten Manchester United and Everton so far this term.But they looked positively pedestrian against a Chelsea side that flowed forward effortlessly. The visitors could nevertheless have taken the lead in the ninth minute when Martin Paterson missed an open goal."We had one or two opportunities in the first half but we are not deluding ourselves as Chelsea had a host of chances and Brian Jensen made some big saves," said Coyle."There might have been a suspicion of offside about their first goal but there is no doubt about it, Chelsea were deserved winners. I have no argument with that."We will take our medicine and it was a lesson at times with the way Chelsea passed and moved the ball. But that is why they are world-class players. We will look to pick ourselves up and go again."
