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.

Burnley got their first win since before Christmas before the international break, beating 10-man Brentford 2-1 to end an 11-match winless run in all competitions (D3 L8). The Clarets are still five points below Luton Town in 17th place, but another win here would certainly give them a boost in the relegation fight. However, Burnley are one of three teams yet to win successive Premier League games this season (along with Crystal Palace and Sheffield United), and they haven't done so since April 2022, when they managed three in a row.

Chelsea still have an outside chance of booking a place in Europe next season, and a win here could move them into the top half of the table if results around them also go their way. The Blues are unbeaten in their four outings in all competitions since losing the EFL Cup final to Liverpool (W3 D1) and booked another trip to Wembley last time out as they beat Leicester City 4-2 to reach the FA Cup semi-final. Their home form is good too, having lost just one of their last 14 games at Stamford Bridge in all competitions (W10 D3).
