Burnley Deny Ten-Man Chelsea As Swansea Stuns Man United

Ex-Manchester City youngster Ben Mee handed his former side a huge boost in their race for the Premier League title as his goal saw Burnley hold leaders Chelsea to a 1-1 draw. It had looked like the Blues were on their way to a victory at Stamford Bridge when the in-from Branislav Ivanovic struck his fourth goal in six games from an Eden Hazard cut-back.

But Jose Mourinho’s men lost their discipline as the game wore on and after watching the usually reliable Nemanja Matic receive a red card for throwing Ashley Barnes to the ground following a challenge from the Clarets striker.

ENGLAND: Arsene Wenger Would Be Happy With Walcott's England Call Up

Arsene Wenger would be "happy" for Theo Walcott to link up with England, but urged caution on managing his comeback from injury. The 25-year-old returned to competitive action for the first time since sustaining a knee ligament injury in January when he came off the bench in Arsenal's 3-0 victory over Burnley on Saturday.

England face a Euro 2016 qualifying fixture at home to Slovenia on November 15 and a friendly at Scotland two days later during the upcoming international break.

Am Blessed To Play With Eto - Romelu Lukaku

Romelu Lukaku feels he is "blessed" to be able to train and play alongside Everton team-mate and legendary striker Samuel Eto'o. Former Barcelona and Inter star Eto'o scored twice in Sunday's 3-1 win over strugglers Burnley, including an impressive long-range strike late on to make sure of Everton's victory.

Club-record signing Lukaku was also on target at Turf Moor, and the 21-year-old says he is learning so much from working with three-time UEFA Champions League winner Eto'o.

Gary Cahill Excited Over Chelsea Start

Gary Cahill believes Chelsea's perfect start to the Premier League season proves they have learned lessons from last term. The west London club have won both their opening two top-flight fixtures of the campaign, beating newly promoted duo Burnley and Leicester City.

Chelsea finished third in the Premier League last season despite taking maximum points from their four fixtures against the two teams who ended above them - Manchester City and Liverpool. Jose Mourinho's side were uncharacteristically wasteful in several so called lesser games in 2013-14, with dropped points against teams from the lower reaches of the division costing them dear.

PREMIER LEAGUE: Chelsea Vs Burnley Preview

In Jose Mourinho’s second season as Chelsea boss in the 2004/05 season, his first EPL league match was away to newly promoted Wigan. And the Blues had to wait until the 93rd minute before Hernan Crespo rescued all three points. Today (Monday), Mourinho will be hoping for a better start against another newly promoted side in Burnley.

And with over £70 million spent on the trio of Diego Costa, Cesc Fabregas and Filipe Luis, Mourinho will hope that his team can turn on the style to justify the tag being most pundits’ choice to win the EPL title come May 2015.

Championship Side Burnley Gets Promotion To Premier League

Goals from Ashley Barnes and Michael Kightly sparked a Turf Moor promotion party as Burnley secured Premier League football for next season with a 2-0 win against Wigan.

The Clarets knew before kick-off that victory would see them bounce back into the top flight, having been outside the elite since their 2010 relegation.

And they were taking no chances, starting the game brightly with Barnes and Kightly handing the hosts a comfortable lead - the latter with his second goal in as many games. Wigan improved after the break but the outcome was never in doubt and Burnley's fans were left to celebrate, invading the pitch, as their team guaranteed a top-two finish.
