Chelsea’s bid for Champions League qualification suffered a setback after Burnley earned a dramatic 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge, while Aston Villa also left it late to secure a share of the spoils against Leeds on Saturday.
The Blues moved into the Premier League’s top four only on goal difference, having failed to capitalise on João Pedro’s early fourth-minute goal.
Chelsea controlled much of the contest until Wesley Fofana was dismissed 18 minutes from time following a second yellow card.
Burnley made their numerical advantage count in stoppage time, with Zian Flemming rising highest to head home from a corner in the 93rd minute, a goal that keeps their faint survival hopes alive.
