In a tense Premier League match at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea battled Burnley in a thrilling encounter that ended in a 2-2 draw. The score was 1-0 in Chelsea's favour at half-time, but Burnley managed to get back into the game in the second half.

Cucurella received a yellow card. In the 40th minute, Assignon received a red card and Burnley were left with ten men. Just three minutes later V.

In the 44th minute Chelsea were awarded a penalty, which was realised by K. Palmer, and the home side took the lead at half-time. However, Burnley took the lead in the second half and equalised in the 47th minute thanks to a goal from J. Cullen. Chelsea regained the lead in the 78th minute when K. Palmer scored his second goal of the match. But Burnley didn't give up and managed to equalise in the 81st minute thanks to a goal from D. O'Shea.
