Burnley Slammed For Anti-football At Chelsea

Chelsea defender David Luiz has ripped into Burnley for the style of play adopted when both sides met for the second time in this season’s Premier League.

Both teams played out a thrilling 2-2 draw at the end of proceedings.

In his post-match reaction to the disappointing result for hosts Chelsea, Brazilian international David Luiz berated the Clarets for the anti-football approach adopted during the game.

Burnley were resolute in defence as they frustrated Chelsea for the majority of the game.

The Clarets were full value for the draw which has all but guaranteed their stay in the Premier League for at least one season.

They took the lead as early as the eighth minute through Republic of Ireland international midfielder Jeff Hendrick.

Chelsea swiftly recovered from that early setback to score two quickfire goals through N’Golo Kante and Gonzalo Higuain.

Kante scored the equaliser for Chelsea after good work from star player Eden Hazard just four minutes after the opening goal from the aforementioned Hendrick.

Higuain added a second goal two minutes later off an assist from Spanish international defender Cesar Azpilicueta to give the hosts the lead for the first time in the game.

Ashley Barnes equalised for Burnley in a whirlwind first half but neither side added to the goals scored at the end of 90 minutes.
