Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel has said his side allowed Burnley to “steal a point by pure luck” in their 1-1 draw on Saturday afternoon.
Chelsea took the lead through Kai Havertz, only for Matej Vydra to bundle home an equaliser in the 79th minute.
The draw meant that Chelsea missed the chance to extend their lead at the top of the table to five points. Liverpool can now close the gap to a single point if they win at West Ham tomorrow.
Speaking after the game, Tuchel said: “That's why everyone loves the game - a team can steal a point if the other team forgets to score the goals they deserve.
“We played a fantastic match. Of course I'm disappointed.
“If we played this game 100 times, we'd win 99 times. Today we didn't win it. The second goal would have decided it. It's always possible you miss one ball, one cross, and this can happen.
“It's our fault. We should have scored. We created so many chances.
“You have the opponent where you want to have them. You create so many chances. We let them believe it was possible to steal a point by pure luck and that's what happened.”
