Burnley's new predicted final finish and points tally after Chelsea draw
Burnley cut the gap to safety to eight points at the weekend with their last-gasp draw at Chelsea.
Zian Flemming headed home an equaliser deep into stoppage-time to secure a point at Stamford Bridge, having capitalised on Wesley Fofana’s red.
It previously looked as though the Clarets were in for a long afternoon in West London, with Chelsea opening the scoring through Joao Pedro after just four minutes.
But Scott Parker’s side stuck in there and were more than a match for Liam Rosenior’s side, eventually earning their reward right at the death.
Elsewhere in the fight for survival, West Ham played out a goalless draw with Bournemouth, while Nottingham Forest were beaten in the final seconds by Liverpool.
Leeds United claimed a creditable 1-1 draw at Aston Villa, while Tottenham’s woes continued with a 4-1 defeat to Arsenal in the North London derby.
