Burnley boosted their Premier League survival hopes as Zian Flemming's stoppage-time header secured a 1-1 draw against 10-man Chelsea on Saturday.

Despite falling behind early, Burnley defended resolutely thereafter and were able to snatch a point after Wesley Fofana was shown a second yellow card.

Joao Pedro bundled home Pedro Neto's delivery in the fourth minute for his career-best 11th Premier League goal of the season.

Burnley gathered themselves and stifled Chelsea's creativity thereafter, with the atmosphere inside Stamford Bridge quickly falling quiet.

Joe Worrall and Bashir Humphreys made important blocks to keep Cole Palmer, Joao Pedro and Neto at bay following the restart, and the Blues continued to labour.

Burnley received a huge boost in the 72nd minute when Fofana went in high and late on James Ward-Prowse and was consequently given his marching orders.

The visitors pushed forward and found the back of the net in the 93rd minute when Flemming easily evaded his marker and guided an excellent header past Robert Sanchez.

Jacob Bruun Larsen went close to adding a winner, but he headed over after being found by another dangerous set-piece from Ward-Prowse as the spoils were shared.

Data Debrief: Blues caught short at home again

Having lost a 2-0 lead to draw with Leeds United in their previous home game, Chelsea once again let victory slip through their fingers against Burnley.

Indeed, the Blues have now dropped 17 points from winning positions at Stamford Bridge this season – only in 1995-96 (20) have they ever thrown away more.

Including their impressive turnaround to win at Crystal Palace last time out, Burnley have now gained six points from losing positions in their past six top-flight away games.

But the Clarets were made to work for their win, having registered an expected goals (xG) total of just 0.78 from their 12 shots to Chelsea's 1.88 from the same attempts.
