The Premier League leaders had only themselves to blame after a 1-1 draw with struggling Burnley on Saturday.

Tuchel's team took the lead through to Kai Havertz's first-half header and were just 11 minutes away from jumping five points clear at the top when Matej Vydra stunned Stamford Bridge.

Given Chelsea's territorial domination, it was a crushing blow, but they were unable to respond, and their four-match winning streak in the league came to an end.

The Blues are three points ahead of Manchester City, who beat Manchester United earlier on Saturday.

If Liverpool beats West Ham on Sunday, they can close the gap on Chelsea to one point.

Despite Chelsea's unblemished run in all competitions, this defeat highlighted their lack of cutting edge in the absence of injured forwards Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner.
