Chelsea vs Burnley LIVE: Premier League result and final score after Dara O’Shea snatches point for Clarets
Relive all the action from Stamford Bridge below
Chelsea suffered another setback in their erratic season on Saturday when they were held to a 2-2 home draw by 10-man Burnley who remain deep in Premier League relegation trouble.
Mauricio Pochettino’s expensively-assembled side looked to be in the driving seat when Burnley‘s Lorenz Assignon was shown a second yellow card for bringing down Mykhailo Mudryk and top-scorer Cole Palmer converted the resulting penalty in the 44th minute.
But Josh Cullen stunned Stamford Bridge by scoring two minutes into the second half with a fine shot from outside the box.
Chelsea struggled to make their numerical advantage count before restoring their lead in the 78th minute when Palmer scored again, this time with a low shot. Burnley were level again three minutes later, however, when Dara O’Shea headed home from a corner.
The draw left Chelsea in 11th place in the table while Burnley are 19th, four points behind 17-placed Nottingham Forest.

Burnley win another free-kick on the left, and Cullen floats a great cross into the far post. Rodriguez goes to attack it, but Badiashile just manages to shepherd it out for a corner.

Craig Bellamy is screaming instructions on the sidelines as he tries to organise his team. Chelsea are finding more space in behind, and the Burnley coach is trying to close them before they're punished.

SAVE! Muric is keeping his side in the game here as he stops another Chelsea attack. Cucurella pulls it back to Palmer on the edge of the D, but his pacy shot is held by the goalkeeper at the near bottom corner.

WHAT A CHANCE! Fernandez lifts a long pass over the top to Madueke, and he can only touch it into Gusto's path. He drills an inviting ball across the face of goal, and Jackson directs his first-time shot back across goal and wide.

And Odobert, who has been a lot quieter in the second half after a bright first 45 minutes, goes off for Gudmundsson.

Burnley are making a double change this time. Foster, who could easily have put Burnley ahead in this game with his header, goes off for Rodriguez.
