Chelsea Drop Points in Premier League Top 4 Race After 2-2 Draw vs. Burnley

Chelsea replaced Arsenal inside the Premier League's top four, despite being held to a 2-2 draw by Burnley at Stamford Bridge on Monday night.

Jeff Hendrick put the Clarets into an early lead, before N'Golo Kante and Gonzalo Higuain struck back for the hosts. Burnley answered back again when Ashley Barnes headed in after 24 minutes.

The stalemate leaves the Blues trailing third-place Tottenham Hotspur on goal difference. Chelsea lead Arsenal by a point and Manchester United by three but have played a game more than their nearest rivals in the race to qualify for next season's UEFA Champions League.
