Pedro Rodriguez finished off a rapid counterattack to put Chelsea ahead in the seventh minute, only for Burnley to equalize through Robbie Brady's curling, 25-meter free-kick in the 24th. Burnley had the better chances to win the game, with its physical presence causing Chelsea problems throughout. Since losing 3-0 to Arsenal on Sept. 24, Chelsea has won all of its games except for a 2-0 loss to Tottenham on Jan. 4 and a 1-1 draw at Liverpool on Jan. 31. Manchester City will go second and trim Chelsea's lead to eight points if it beats Bournemouth on Monday. This was always going to be a testing game for Chelsea, not least because of the conditions at the atmospheric Turf Moor.
