Vydra Earns Burnley Unlikely Point At Chelsea

 

Chelsea 1 Burnley 1

Matej Vydra's late strike earned Burnley an unlikely 1-1 draw at Premier League leaders Chelsea.

Kai Havertz, playing as a stand-in striker with Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner still sidelined with injury, headed Chelsea ahead just past the half-hour mark.

However, despite not having had an effort on goal until that point - Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel later called the visitors' draw "lucky" - Burnley levelled matters totally against the run of play in the 79th minute when substitute Vydra nodded in from close range after a well-worked move.

As a result, Chelsea lead the Premier League by three points from Manchester City following their 2-0 win at Man Utd earlier in the day, while Burnley stay 18th.
