"Chelsea's 10 men were stunned by a Zian Flemming header in the third minute of added time as Burnley stole a 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge. João Pedro's goal in the fourth minute had looked like being the winner but the Blues wilted terribly after Wesley Fofana's sending off for a second booking 20 minutes from the end, leaving the door ajar for Flemming to score from a James Ward-Prowse corner."
"Chelsea are much improved since Liam Rosenior took charge but they still look unsure of how to finish off opponents. The visitors had barely a sniff after João Pedro had shovelled Pedro Neto's cross over the line, with Cole Palmer showing some of his very best form as Scott Parker's struggling side were made to look like they were a Championship team already."
João Pedro put Chelsea ahead in the fourth minute and the home side largely controlled the match with Cole Palmer in strong form. The match swung when Wesley Fofana received a second yellow and was sent off 20 minutes from time, leaving Chelsea reduced to ten men. Burnley capitalised deep into stoppage time as Zian Flemming headed home from a James Ward-Prowse corner to snatch a 1-1 draw. Jacob Bruun Larsen then headed over a late chance that could have compounded Chelsea's misery. Ill-discipline remains a season-long issue despite improvement under Liam Rosenior.
