Chelsea conceded two goals to ten-man Burnley at Stamford Bridge in a new low for Mauricio Pochettino, who would be long gone with his side in a relegation battle were it not for Cole Palmer.
Burnley had given as good as they’d got up until a hugely contentious decision which saw Chelsea given a penalty, Lorenz Assignon shown a second yellow card and Vincent Kompany also given his marching orders for what were his entirely reasonable complaints.
Josh Cullen scored a stunning equaliser soon after the break, combining with substitute Josh Brownhill on the edge of the box before volleying into the corner, thus turning the game into an exercise of Chelsea attempting to break down a low block. As is so often the case in such circumstances, even when on this occasion faced with the second-worst defence in the Premier League, they really struggled.
But Burnley switched into attacking mode without any opposition and Dara O’Shea scored from a corner. The Chelsea defending was non- existent, as was the case six minutes later when Jay Rodriguez rattled the bar. Burnley scored two, and should have scored at least three when down to ten men at Stamford Bridge.
Not that we have the data, nor the inclination to use it as a stat if we did, but we would guess Palmer’s also had plenty of pre-assists, and even when he’s not touched the ball in the build-up has had a significant role to play given opposition sides presumably recognise him as the only guy in the Chelsea team they need stop to beat them.
