Nemanja Matic sees red as Burnley hold leaders Chelsea at Stamford Bridge to a score draw

Burnley came from behind to draw 1-1 with 10-man Chelsea on a stormy afternoon at Stamford Bridge.

The league leaders had taken a 14th-minute lead thanks to Branislav Ivanovic’s fourth goal in his last six matches but Nemanja Matic was sent off with 20 minutes to go following an angry reaction to an Ashley Barnes tackle and the visitors drew level soon after through Ben Mee’s 81st-minute header. 

 

Matic, now set to miss next Sunday's Capital One Cup final against Tottenham, had to be restrained by John Terry and Kurt Zouma as he seethed at Barnes' lunge.

Chelsea, at the end of a troubled week following events in Paris, will rue two points dropped after dominating for most of the game, while manager Jose Mourinho will no doubt reflect on two strong penalty appeals in the first half that did not go their way.
