Liam Rosenior slammed Chelsea's players for 'setting fire' to three points in their 1-1 draw with Burnley. A 93rd-minute equaliser from Zian Flemming saw 10-man Chelsea squander a lead at Stamford Bridge for the Premier League second game in a row.

Joao Pedro's fourth-minute strike gave Chelsea an early advantage which they failed to build on. After throwing away a 2-0 lead at home to Leeds last time out, history then repeated itself.

Another familiar failing which reared its head was the Blues' ill-discipline, as Welsey Fofana saw red in the second half for two yellow cards. His dismissal allowed 19th-placed Burnley to take the initiative and eventually snatch a draw, boosting their faint hopes of avoiding relegation.

Chelsea have now received eight red cards this season, with only two sides in Premier League history being on the wrong end of more sendings off in a single campaign. Post-match, Rosenior vented his frustration.

"From the first goal, we lacked incision when we had control," the Blues boss fumed. "I want incision. I want us to create wave after wave of attack.

"We were too safe in our possession. When you give a team, any team, a one-goal advantage, anything can happen. The red card happens, you're down to 10 men.

"We knew their biggest threat with [James] Ward-Prowse on the pitch was set plays. We went as big as we possibly could because that was the only way they could score with 10 men. We still don't see it out.

"I think the frustration is more the last two home games. From being in winning positions and being in control of the game to not win the two games, that's the biggest frustration. It's not a blame on an individual."

Rosenior added: "What has happened with me is we have set fire to four points from two home games. Anyone watching the game, it's not good enough for a club of this level.

"It's not good enough for me to come and say we were the better team. We need to be the better team in every game. We need to win games of football."

When asked about Chelsea's disciplinary record, Rosenior defended his players' behaviour during his budding tenure. But the 41-year-old conceded that they've received 'too many' red cards this term.

"Our discipline since I've come in, which is what I only speak on, has been very good," Rosenior stated. "That was an unfortunate red card for Wes, he stepped in on a challenge. I felt there was something that could have been dealt with better before that happened by the referee and went unnoticed.

"But you're going to get red cards, it's too many. It's too many for sure. But in my time with the group, I think our discipline record has been very good up to now."
