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 are a bit sluggish in defence, and Gallagher trips Cullen to give away a free-kick through the middle. Bruun Larsen takes it, but his shot is straight at the wall, and it deflects out for a corner.

It's a positive run down the left by Odobert as he weaves between Chelsea players before pulling it back from the byline. Disasi scuffs it away, but the Blues only get to the halfway line before losing possession.

CHANCE! Chelsea are looking to make a quick start to this game, and Gallagher spreads it out to Palmer on the left. He has options in the middle, but chooses to go it alone instead, firing his shot into the side netting.

Chelsea vs Burnley
Vincent Kompany makes just two changes from their win over Brentford two weeks ago. Amdouni and Foster are brought in to partner up front, while Odobert and Vitinho both drop back into deeper roles. Taylor starts on the bench, but in-form David Datro Fofana isn't available today as he's ineligible to face his parent club.

Mauricio Pochettino makes three changes to the side that beat Leicester in the FA Cup before the international break. Petrovic is back in goal, with Badiashile and Fernandez also coming in. Gusto has recovered from illness to retain his place, but Sterling drops to the bench. There are more injury troubles for the Blues as well, as Robert Sanchez, Trevoh Chalobah and Ben Chilwell have all picked up problems which keep them out today.
