(Dan Tri) – Chelsea caused great disappointment when they played better than others but only achieved a 2-2 draw against Burnley in round 30 of the Premier League even though Pochettino’s army took the lead twice.
Chelsea’s path to competing for the European Cup is still extremely unclear as Pochettino’s army has not yet found the necessary stability of a big team.

Going into the match against Burnley, Chelsea started with excitement.
In the 20th minute, Chelsea seemed to have opened the score when they put the ball into the away team’s net, but the referee, with the advice of VAR, did not recognize the goal because Disasi let the ball touch his hand before scoring.
In the 40th minute, Assignon stopped Mudryk in the penalty area. Referee England determined that the away team player had committed a foul, so he gave Chelsea a penalty and issued a yellow card.
