Chelsea moved into fourth place in the Premier League table despite being held to a draw by Burnley on Saturday.

Joao Pedro continued his red-hot form in front of goal by breaking the deadlock as early as the fourth minute, sliding the ball home after being picked out by Pedro Neto in the six-yard box.

The result was placed in doubt when Wesley Fofana was sent-off in the second half for a poor tackle on James Ward-Prowse.

Then in stoppage time, Ward-Prowse’s corner was headed home by Zian Flemming to earn a point for Burnley in their bid to avoid relegation back to the Championship.
