He ended up picking up the player of the match award after seeing two efforts saved well, while creating a chance for a teammate and misplacing just one pass.
His manager, Nicky Hayen, has already waxed lyrical over the loanee, and he looks set for plenty of opportunities to develop away from Stamford Bridge.
There is huge optimism about what Satpayev can do for Chelsea in the future, and they have found a great landing spot for him to learn his trade to prepare for his competitive debut.
With Enzo Fernandez gone and Lamine Camara staying at Monaco, who should partner Moises Caicedo in midfield this season?
Romeo Lavia, Reece James, Valentin Barco and Jordan Henderson

My first choice would be Lavia closely followed by Reece. Tough call because you want our captain on the pitch. With Barco you also have a very promising and capable cover
Chelsea will manage just fine without Enzo Fenandes.I think we as supporters will be pleasantly surprised. I think him and Maresca were planning this for a very long time. Had he stayed he most probably could have caused a bad atmosphere in the dressing room. That could have been partly to blame for last season's poor performance.
What local media said about Satpayev
The Burnley Express handed the youngster a 7/10, and were full of praise for his work-rate that goes alongside his goal threat.
They said: “Burnley’s bright spark once again. Puts in a hell of a shift and carries a real goal threat. Had a powerful drive beaten away before being denied by the keeper’s legs.”
The Clarets had ambitions of achieving promotion back to the Premier League, and after a tough start to the season they are going to be relying on their attack to start finding the net.
It is only a matter of time before Satpayev scores his first EFL goal, and continues to enjoy his rise to eventually featuring for Chelsea.
