Transcript

00:00 Here at Stamford Bridge where Burnley have just claimed a breathless 2-2 draw at Chelsea.

00:06 Not sure where to start really.

00:08 Other than to say Burnley were incredible.

00:11 To have so much credit, went down to 10 men at the end of the first half in controversial circumstances.

00:17 I think that's fair to say.

00:18 Laurence Assen-Yong has shown a second yellow card for a really soft penalty which Karl Palmer put away.

00:24 But they equalised straight out of the second half with Josh Cullen.

00:27 After switching a couple of things tactically, a couple of subs, and then held on.

00:34 Thought they were going to hold on, wrong one.

00:36 But then Karl Palmer scored a second about 12 minutes from the time I think it was.

00:40 And you think, OK, if that's that then the 11 men will see it out and get the win.

00:45 But Burnley came again.

00:47 Dario O'Shea with a superb header from a corner.

00:51 And it could have got even better.

00:53 Jey Rodriguez off the bench had a massive chance.

00:55 Similar chance to O'Shea, rising highs from a corner.

00:58 And this time hit the bar.

01:00 It fell back to him, it was a bit awkward, it was bouncing in front of him.

01:03 And he sort of scissor kicked it wide when the net was empty.

01:06 So there was that feeling it could have been better.

01:08 But given the circumstances of the red card, playing 10 men for 45 minutes, superb point.

01:13 And who knows how significant that point would be at the end of the season.

01:16 I think the gap now is down to four points with Luton losing a forest.

01:20 So Burnley have shown they've got plenty of stunner, plenty of fight.

01:24 And if they go on to beat Wolves on Tuesday, this would be a massive, massive, massive, massive draw.
