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.

GREAT SAVE! Chelsea work it wonderfully down their right side again, and this time, Palmer tries to turn provider. He threads it through to Jackson, who hits his low shot across goal towards the far post, but Muric stays big, making a big block with his foot.

BLOCK! It's a great throughball down the right by Caicedo, and Gusto surges down the wing to meet it. He pulls it back to Palmer, who hits his shot first time, but O'Shea makes sure he's in the way of it.

GOOD SAVE! Just like Palmer, Odobert has been bright so far, and he cuts inside from the left. As Gusto closes him down, the winger uses him as a shield to curl a shot towards the far post, but Petrovic gets a strong hand to it.

CHANCE! Palmer is causing all sorts of problems in the opening exchanges here, as he plays a one-two with Gallagher to open up space on the right of the box. He doesn't hit the shot cleanly though, hitting it wide of the near post once more.

WIDE! Amdouni is caught on the ball by Caicedo, and the midfielder rolls it into Palmer's feet. He isn't short on confidence as he takes on another pacy shot from range, but he fires this one wide of the near post.

GREAT SAVE! Chelsea finally manage to string together enough passes to get to the edge of the box, and Gallagher squares it across to Fernandez. His shot takes an awkward deflection off Esteve, but Muric adjusts quickly to tip it onto the bar.

WIDE! Seconds after Bruun Larsen bundled a shot wide, it's switched back out to the Dane on the right of the box. The angle is against him though, and he fizzes his low effort just wide of the far post.
