BREAKING: Fresh Woes For Mauricio Pochettino Led #Chelsea As 10-Man Burnley Stun Blues At Stamford Bridge–Frustration continues to build at Stamford Bridge, as although Chelsea extended their unbeaten run against Burnley to 11 matches, a 2-2 draw in which they twice squandered a lead against 10-men is sure to sting.
Chelsea were pegged back to a 2-2 draw against 10-man Burnley in a disappointing display from the hosts at Stamford Bridge.
Mauricio Pochettino made three changes to the side that beat Leicester City just under a fortnight ago and the team started well. Axel Disasi thought he put the hosts ahead in the first-half but his goal was ruled out for a handball by the VAR.
However, the Blues were not to be denied taking the lead before the half-time whistle. After Mykhailo Mudryk was brought down in the box, Lorenz Assignon was shown a straight red card for the visitors.
Vincent Kompany, the Burnley boss, was left incensed by the decision and was shown a red card for his complaints. Cole Palmer dinked the ball from 12 yards and put Chelsea ahead with a typically ice-cold finish.
The Clarets, though, equalised early into the second-half via a fantastic strike from Josh Cullen from the edge of the box. Chelsea went back ahead, though, later in the game after another Palmer goal.
Burnley equalised immediately after through a Dara O’Shea header from a corner – and the game finished 2-2 despite Chelsea having a man advantage for the second-half. Below, Bobby Vincent rates the Chelsea players that featured.
