Several matches have concluded in the 27th round of the English Premier League. One of the central matches took place at Chelsea's home ground: the Blues hosted Burnley at Stamford Bridge.
The meeting "started" very quickly. In the 4th minute, Joao Pedro opened the scoring, putting the hosts ahead. At first glance, the game seemed to be under Chelsea's control: they had more ball, more attacks, and more pressure. But the most dangerous thing in football is the thought that "everything is settled."
Because Burnley fought until the end. And in the 90+3rd minute, Flemming instantly destroyed the hosts' lead - the score was 1:1! As a result, both sides shared one point each, while Chelsea conceded the three points they considered victorious.
Following this draw, Chelsea climbed to 4th place with 45 points. Burnley remains in 19th place with 20 points - but this one point is a vital point for them.
There was plenty of intrigue in parallel games of the same type:
- Aston Villa drew 1-1 with Leeds United. Goals: Abraham (88) - Anton (31).
- Brighton won 2-0 at Brentford. Goals: Gomez (30), Welbeck (45+1).
EPL. Round 27
Chelsea - Burnley 1:1
Goals: Joao Pedro (4) - Flemming (90+3)
Yellow cards: Fofana (34) - Mejbri (30)
Red card: Fofana (72)
The conclusion is this: this match once again proved the classic rule that "the last seconds can change everything in football." For Chelsea, this is a kind of signal: you shouldn't leave the end open just because you want to close the game early. And "Burnley," with such a character, keeps the hope alive to emerge from below.
