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.

The board has now gone up to show that we're in seven minutes of stoppage time at the end of the half. Burnley have a free-kick that Bruun Larsen curls into the far post, but Esteve nods it across goal and wide.

KOMPANY IS SENT OFF! The Burnley manager is not happy with the penalty and red card decisions, and he is making that point first to the fourth official and then to the referee. He crosses a line with his protests, and he is also shown a red card, much to the home fans' amusement.

VAR has a long look at the penalty incident, but they don't see anything wrong with the referee's onfield decision. The penalty stands, but Assignon is still refusing to leave the pitch.

PENALTY TO CHELSEA! Mudryk is racing onto a throughball into the box, and Assignon gets back into position. The ball gets away from the Ukrainian, and the defender puts his arm on Mudryk's shoulder to nudge him down. The referee points to the spot!

CHANCE! Palmer's throughball is just too heavy for Caicedo, but it runs out to Gusto on the right. He fizzes a low cross into the middle, and Cucurella throws himself forward to meet it with his head. It's straight at Muric though.

Petrovic makes an easy save from Bruun Larsen's free-kick and sends it long upfield. Jackson races out to the left to meet it, with Muric also rushing out of his box. The forward just gets there first, but the goalkeeper recovers well to poke it away for a corner.
