Chelsea 2-2 Burnley 
by Layth Yousif

A SMATTERING of boos rang out among the home support at the final whistle after the Clarets’ 10 players earned a hard-fought point in their battle to avoid relegation.

Two goals from the lively Cole Palmer were not enough to ensure victory for the home side, as Burnley captain Josh Cullen first equalised, prior to a late leveller from Dara O’Shea to make it 2-2 on 81 minutes — much to the annoyance of Chelsea fans who made their feeling clear immediately after the match.

While you could understand the Blues’ frustration in as much as Mauricio Pochettino’s side — despite more than £1 billion being spent to assemble it — are simply not a patch on any of their great sides of the last 20 years, and with the quality in their squad should be dispatching opponents of Burnley’s calibre.
