Joey Barton and Michael Keane help Burnley to draw against Chelsea

Burnley held likely Premier League champions Chelsea to a 1-1 draw at Turf Moor on Sunday, collecting a deserved point to edge further away from the relegation zone after Robbie Brady's pearl of a free kick cancelled out Pedro's early opener.

The Clarets defended superbly in the second half to restrict the Blues to potshots and with 30 points already on the board, Sean Dyche's side are close to sealing Premier League survival for the first time.

Positives

Chelsea have been so rampant this season that stopping the Blues is a massive achievement for any club, particularly one where the budget is a fraction of that enjoyed by the league leaders.
