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.

Cucurella steps across Assignon to block his run, and though there isn't a lot of contact, the Spaniard knew what he was doing. He gives away a free-kick, and gets a booking.

SAVE! It's a hopeful clearance upfield, but Jackson latches onto it with a bursting run down the right. He cuts inside to lose Vitinho before laying it off to Mudryk, but he tries to guide it into the net, leaving Muric with a comfortable save.

Cucurella is looking for a forward pass, but there's no movement ahead of him. Assignon quickly closes him down, and Chelsea are forced all the way back to the goalkeeper, much to the fans' frustration.
Chelsea vs Burnley
Chelsea have scored at least once in all 17 of their Premier League games against Burnley, the most they've ever faced a side while scoring 100 per cent of the time in the competition.

Burnley have really struggled to deal with the threat that Chelsea are posing down their right. Gusto drives to the byline before pulling it back to Jackson, who can't sort his feet out quickly enough to have a shot.

SAVE! Assignon's long throw is allowed all the way through to Cullen on the edge of the D, and he quickly adjusts himself to shoot. He drills his low shot through the crowd, but Petrovic gets down to hold onto it.

Chelsea push forward in numbers once more, and the space just opens up for Gallagher through the middle. A deflection off O'Shea takes it neatly into Muric's gloves, and Palmer is furious, as he was completely unmarked to his right.

NO GOAL! After a very long look at the goal from all angles, it appears that Disasi didn't get his head to the ball, and as it came off his line, the goal will be ruled out. Still 0-0!

DISASI SCORES! The corner was taken short to Mudryk, and he whips a dangerous cross in from the left. Berge gets the deftest of touches at the near post, but can only help it onto Disasi, who bundles it over the line from close range. There is a VAR check though, and this might not count...
