LIVE: Burnley v Chelsea
McNeil misses a sitter
Mendy makes a hash of his clearance when attempting to punch Westwood’s cross away under pressure from Rodriguez and, with the goal gaping, McNeil lifts his effort over the bar.
Off the line
Weghorst’s cushioned effort from Lennon’s cross is cleared off the line by Silva. Moments later, Collins gets above Chalobah to meet McNeil’s set-piece, but the defender can’t keep his header down.
McNeil started brightly
The Burnley winger has been vibrant in the opening quarter-of-an-hour. A lung-busting run prevented Saul from breaking, he beat Chalobah to Westwood’s lofted pass before winning a corner, and he’s pressing the ball hard.
