For Burnley - Robbie Brady(24)
Chelsea missed the chance to move 12 points clear at the top of the Premier League as they were held to a draw by a resilient Burnley at Turf Moor.
The hosts had won all four of their previous homes games without conceding but fell behind early on when Pedro finished off a sweeping attack.
The visitors dominated possession and it seemed only a matter of time before they added to their advantage.
However, Burnley's record signing Robbie Brady - making his full debut following a January move from Norwich - equalised with a stunning free-kick.
The Clarets almost went ahead before the break but Thibaut Courtois superbly denied Matt Lowton from close range.
- Burnley have gone six top-flight games unbeaten at home for the first time since September 1975.
- Chelsea (19) have scored the first goal of the game more times than any other Premier League team this season and have yet to lose (W16 D3).
- Burnley have never won a Premier League encounter against Chelsea (D2 L4).
- Pedro has now scored nine times in all competitions for Chelsea this season, surpassing his total of eight in 2015-16.
- Robbie Brady is the first Premier League player to score a direct free-kick v Chelsea (in the PL) since Rickie Lambert in March 2013.
- Brady is the third Burnley player to score on his first Premier League start for the club alongside Scott Arfield v Chelsea in August 2014 and Daniel Fox v West Ham in February 2010.
- Diego Costa has failed to score in three consecutive Premier League appearances for the first time since April-May 2016.
