Not the level we want — Chelsea boss Rosenior laments poor game management in Burnley draw

Chelsea dropped points at home against Burnley, surrendering a lead in stoppage time, a collapse Rosenior believes highlights a concerning pattern and raises questions about which players he can truly depend on.

The Blues were in cruise control after Joao Pedro gave them a fourth-minute lead at Stamford Bridge. However, the game's dynamic shifted dramatically when Wesley Fofana was sent off for a second yellow card in the second half.

Burnley's equaliser felt inevitable and arrived late when Zian Flemming connected with a James Ward-Prowse corner, heading home unmarked.

The result followed their previous home game against Leeds, where they also let a comfortable 2-0 lead slip.

Rosenior delivered a harsh assessment of his team's inability to manage the game.

"We've set fire to four points from two home games," he stated. "It's not good enough for a club of this level for me to say we were the better team.

"I'm learning about the players. I'm learning about the people you can lean on when things aren't going your way, and you need to see a game out. That's something we need to address very quickly."

"We need to have players you can rely on in the moment to do their jobs. Set plays are massive in the Premier League.

"Our record this season in defending set plays is not to the level required to achieve what we want."
