10-man Burnley hold stuttering Chelsea at home
Chelsea suffered another setback in their erratic season yesterday when they were held to a 2-2 home draw by 10-man Burnley who remain deep in Premier League relegation trouble. Dara O’Shea struck a late equaliser as 10-man Burnley secured a vital point away at Chelsea in the Premier League.
O’Shea headed in from Josh Cullen’s corner for relegationthreatened Burnley, three minutes after Cole Palmer had put the Blues back in front with a finish across goalkeeper Arijanet Muric.
Palmer had given Chelsea the lead in the first half, scoring a Panenka penalty after Lorenz Assignon received a second yellow card for fouling Mykhailo Mudryk in the box.
Shortly after the interval Burnley were back on level terms through Cullen’s superb finish on the volley, but late goals for both sides meant the points were shared.
