Burnley 1-1 Chelsea

Michael Keane claimed yesterday that momentum is at the heart of Burnley’s brilliant home form.

The Clarets made it 29 home points this season as they held runaway leaders Chelsea at Turf Moor.

Robbie Brady’s brilliant free-kick cancelled out Pedro’s opener as Sean Dyche’s men recorded another impressive result in their first season back in the Premier League.

“We got a few wins early on at home and that gave us some momentum,” defender Keane said.

“Hopefully we can continue that to the end of the season.

“Chelsea came out of the blocks strong, we didn’t let that affect us and we have unbelievable belief at home. We know what we’re capable of.

“It’s what we’re all about, we never give in. The manager instils it in us, we keep going for 90 minutes.

“We defended really well, we kept our shape and we knew we’d be under pressure.”

Republic of Ireland international Brady, a £10 million deadline-day signing from Norwich, curled home a superb 20-yard free-kick to cancel out Pedro’s early opener for Chelsea.

Chelsea had won 16 of their previous 18 league games heading into the fixture, while Dyche’s Clarets were chasing a sixth straight home league win and their eighth in all competitions.

Burnley, yet to win on the road in the league this season, have steered clear of relegation trouble following promotion due to their formidable home form.

Although Chelsea finished the game stronger, Antonio Conte’s side did not deserve to become only the fourth side to triumph at Turf Moor this season and the first since Manchester City in November.
