Burnley showed real guts at Stamford Bridge, managing to draw the game twice despite being a player down and missing their manager for a good chunk of the match. Chelsea, on the other hand, let some crucial points slip away on their home turf, which doesn’t bode well for their Champions League hopes next season.
In the 30th round of the English Premier League on March 30th, Chelsea faced off against Burnley at Stamford Bridge in London. Chelsea had their sights set on securing a spot in European competitions by the end of the season, while Burnley aimed to solidify their position in the league.
Chelsea seemed to have the upper hand in the first half, scoring just before halftime with Palmer’s penalty. It was noteworthy that Burnley was down to ten men after Assin received two yellow cards. However, despite the numerical disadvantage, Burnley managed to hold Chelsea off. They leveled the score through Callen’s goal, only for Palmer to put Chelsea ahead again. But Burnley fought back and equalized just three minutes later, securing a valuable point in London.
As expected, Pochettino expressed disappointment with the outcome during the post-match press conference. With ten games left to play, Chelsea currently sits in 11th place in the league standings but still has a decent shot at qualifying for European competitions.
