Chelsea were forced to share the spoils with Burnley at Turf Moor after playing out to a 1-1 draw in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.

The Blues got off to a firing start and broke the deadlock in the seven minute when Victor Moses play Pedro through on goal before guiding the ball into the bottom corner to make it 1-0.

However, Burnley responded well and levelled matters in the 24th minute when club-record signing Robbie Brady sent his curling free-kick into the top corner from 25-yards out to make it 1-1.

In the 36th minute, Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois came to his side’s rescue when he produced a fine save to deny Matthew Lowton from 12-yards out.

Despite Chelsea dominating proceedings in the opening 45 minutes, the match went into the half-time interval locked at 1-1.

However, in the second half, both sides struggled to carve out any real clear-cut chances as the match went on.

Antonio Conte’s side pressed forward in the closing stages of the match in search of the winning goal but Burnley managed to hold on until the final whistle as both sides were forced to share a point each.

Chelsea now moved 10 points clear at the summit of Premier League despite their 1-1 draw with Burnley at Turf Moor.
