"In the 72nd minute, Fofana picked up a second booking when he caught James Ward-Prowse with a reckless challenge, giving referee Lewis Smith little option but to dismiss the Frenchman. It would prove costly. Deep into second-half stoppage time, Burnley made their numerical advantage pay courtesy of Fleming. As the clock ticked over into the 93rd minute, Fleming popped up to head in the equaliser and secure an impressive point for Parker's team."
"However, it did not look promising when an error from Kyle Walker then presented a glorious chance for Cole Palmer to double the Blues advantage, but the England forward failed to capitalise. The visitors ended the half brightly, dominating possession in the closing stages while Chelsea dropped off before break. After the restart, Rosenior's men pushed for a second goal, with Joao Pedro seeing an effort blocked before the Blues were reduced to 10 men with just under 20 minutes remaining."
Burnley earned a 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge with Zian Fleming scoring a stoppage-time header to equalise. Joao Pedro opened the scoring for Chelsea inside four minutes after Moises Caicedo found Pedro Neto, who set up the finish. Burnley responded strongly and dominated possession late in the first half. Chelsea had chances to increase their lead but failed to convert, including a missed opportunity by Cole Palmer following a Kyle Walker error. Wesley Fofana received a second yellow and was sent off in the 72nd minute. Burnley capitalised on the extra man to claim a valuable point in their relegation fight.
