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.

Chelsea have had 79.2 per cent of the possession in the second half so far, and they're still keeping Burnley penned back deep. The Clarets are still standing firm though, even as the pressure increases.

After struggling against Gusto down the left in the first half, Vitinho is now have a hard time keeping up with Mudryk after switching to the opposite flank. The Ukrainian gets away again, but the shot at the end of the run is poor.

GREAT SAVE! Chelsea have found their first-half rhythm again now, and Mudryk makes another brilliant run down the left. He pulls it back from the byline to Jackson, but Muric makes himself big to block the first-time shot.

BLOCK! Gallagher weaves past two Burnley defenders before touching it back to Mudryk, who loses O'Shea with a clever dummy. He takes the shot on after, but Esteve throws himself in front of it to make a vital block.

GREAT SAVE! Burnley could've been in front! Cullen peels out to the left this time and looks to turn provider as he whips a dangerous cross to the edge of the six-yard box. Foster gets goalside of Badiashile to thump a header on goal, but Petrovic gets behind it.

Fernandez's throughball takes a big deflection and Burnley are static until Mudryk touches it. O'Shea slides in to stop him from having a shot before Chelsea recycle it out to Gusto. His first touch is poor though, and Taylor sees it back to Muric.

There's been just one shot in the second half so far, which obviously became Burnley's equaliser. Cullen scored from an xG of just 0.03, and Chelsea haven't managed a reply just yet.

Chelsea are back to dominating possession here, but it's all in front of a compact Burnley side. The Blues are staying patient, but there's no space to work in at the moment.
