Chelsea missed the opportunity to move third in the Premier League after drawing 2-2 with Burnley on 
It was a pulsating start at Stamford Bridge as all four goals came in the opening 24 minutes
 Jeff Hendrick's spectacular volley put Burnley ahead (8) before N'Golo Kante (12) and Gonzalo Higuain (14) put Chelsea in front with a quickfire double
But a Burnley side high on confidence after three straight wins levelled through Ashley Barnes (24), meaning Chelsea - who later  - have now failed to win any of their last six fixtures following a Europa League game
Chelsea's frustrations boiled over as the clock ticked down with Maurizio Sarri being sent to the stands after protesting at Burnley's perceived time-wasting while Antonio Rudiger - not in the matchday squad - was seen arguing with a Burnley member of staff near the tunnel at full-time
The result leaves Chelsea in fourth place in the Premier League having played a game more than their top-four rivals, while Burnley are all-but safe, nine points clear of Cardiff in 18th with three games left
With Tottenham, Arsenal and Manchester United all losing over the weekend, the door was open for Chelsea to make a statement
The hosts started brightly with Higuain having an effort cleared off the line by Ben Mee but fell behind on seven minutes to a cracking strike from Hendrick
 There did not look much danger on when the ball dropped out of sky following a Burnley corner but the Republic of Ireland international connected flush with a volley which flew into the net
The Blues were level four minutes later when Hazard tricked and turned Matthew Lowton inside out down the left before rolling a cross to Kante, who spanked a left-footed strike home
With Burnley struggling to get out of their half, Chelsea struck again
 Cesar Azpilicueta flicked a ball into Higuain down the right-edge of the box and the 31-year-old fired a powerful effort home to notch his first goal since March 3
That should have been the catalyst to take control of the game but back came Burnley again, to score the fourth goal in a pulsating opening 24 minutes
A free-kick was met Ben Mee who nodded it across the six-yard box
 Chris Wood then helped it into the the path of Barnes, who finished from close range
 From having just 18 per cent of the ball, Burnley had somehow scored twice
Hudson-Odoi limped off midway through the half - later leaving the ground on crutches - before Kante joined him in the treatment room after being replaced by Mateo Kovacic at the break
Hazard continued to threaten after the break but the Chelsea chances dried up as Burnley began to heavily frustrate Sarri's side, who were restricted to long-range efforts
Olivier Giroud replaced an unhappy Higuain with 15 minutes but despite dominating territory, Chelsea failed to produce a match-winning moment and Sarri's frustration boiled over as he was sent to the stands in stoppage time
The Burnley centre-half led his team magnificently as they repelled a toothless Chelsea attack in the second-half
 Sarri's side worked plenty of space down the channels but their final ball was usually hacked clear by a Burnley shirt, more often than not it was Mee first to the loose ball
 No Burnley player made more clearances than him (10)
"I think in the second half we didn't play much football
 There was a lot of time-wasting and we felt five minutes wasn't enough to compensate for all the lost time and lost rhythm
 We are not very happy
 I understand Burnley's approach, but we're very unhappy
 Five minutes wasn't enough
" "To come through the beginning to where we are, all the challenges along the way, injuries and so on, the players have done magnificently
"We knew we would need to be resilient
 We've got no choice, there's teams with more technical prowess than us in the division
 We know we have to be resilient mentally, we're doing all the basics, there must be an honesty as a team; but that's also a record number of goals that we've scored now
"Chelsea now have a six-day break before taking on United at Old Trafford, live on 
 That game follows Burnley's trip to title-chasing Manchester City
