Match Report: Chelsea concede late to draw 1-1 with Burnley in another frustrating home slip<\/p>\n

Chelsea let a one goal lead slip at home against 19th placed Burnley, the second game in a row where they\u2019ve dropped points from a winning position.<\/p>\n

The game couldn\u2019t have started much better for Chelsea. After just 4 minutes, a rapid move saw Moises Caicedo pick out Pedro Neto\u2019s clever run with a superb through ball.<\/p>\n

The Portuguese winger whipped a low cross in for the in form Joao Pedro<\/a>, who bundled the ball in. The crowd were roaring, and everyone expected a comfortable win with some nice football along the way. But it didn\u2019t work out that way. Everything slowed down, players stopped taking risks, and despite some good moments, the game started to drift. Bit by bit, Burney regained their belief that they could get something.<\/p>\n

Things went from difficult to disastrous in the 72nd minute. Wesley Fofana, supposedly the experienced player in the back line, made a rash and foolish lunge for the ball and got a second yellow.<\/p>\n

After that Chelsea were on the back foot, and while Burnley weren\u2019t able to generate a lot of pressure, it felt inevitable that the consistently weak Blues back line would fold eventually. Manager Liam Rosenior brought on a slew of central defenders, but there was still an embarrassing vacuum of responsibility in the box<\/p>\n

The red card swung the game around, but as Liam Rosenior and most fans have said since, that wasn\u2019t the real problem. The problem was the lack of creativity and attacking threat from Chelsea for most of the game. It felt like they scored too early, in a way. They then had something in the bank, and they instantly lost the direct and vertical attacking threat which brought them their goal in the first place.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s so disappointing given the opposition, given what was at stake, and given the week of rest this team had had. Rosenior knows it\u2019s not good enough, and has said so in his analysis of the game.<\/p>\n
