BOOKING FOR WESTWOOD
The frustration for the Clarets is coming out and on this occasion Westwood goes into the book for fouling Kovacic.

BARNES GOES INTO THE BOOK
He dived into a challenge with a prone Jorginho with his studs raised. Somewhere between a yellow and a red that offence.

GOAL FOR CHELSEA!

HALF TIME
A BETTER GAME THAN SCORELINE SUGGESTS
Both sides have had good chances to go in front but parity seems fair as they go into the changing rooms.
45'
ANOTHER GREAT CLEARANCE FROM TARKOWSKI
Jorginho's bullet from 20 yards out had Pope scampering to his right but thanks to his centre back putting his head in the way the ball never reached the goal.
42'
TWO MORE CHANCES FOR McNEIL
McNeil was through on goal and then dallied in possession before Chalobah dispossessed him, then Rodriguez slide-tackled the Blues defender and McNeil had the ball again but once more he was tackled.
