Burnley 1-1 Chelsea: Five things we learned as Courtois rescues sloppy Blues
EXPRESS SPORT brings you five things we learned from Chelsea's draw with Burnley.
Diego Costa apologises to Chelsea team-mate for stunning goal
Rare off day
Chelsea have looked like champions-elect on a number of occasions this season.
But this was rare off day for Antonio Conte's menas they drew 1-1 with Burnley.
In difficult conditions Chelsea weren't able to maintain the momentum gained from the early goal and they laboured to create chances after Burnley's equaliser.
Pedro
The Spain international struggled in his debut season in the Premier League.
But he has been a man reborn under manager Conte and today grabbed his ninth goal of the season.
If Diego Costa isn't able to score, it's important for Chelsea's other attackers to help out.
David Luiz
The Brazilian has proved his critics wrong this season but has been nursing a knee injury in recent weeks.
And it was clear he was struggling at times today.
With Kurt Zouma back fit, it might be time for Luiz to be rested.
Chelsea's Pedro celebrates scoring
Diego Costa
The 28-year-old has not scored in his last three games and has not looked at his sharpest.
Though Chelsea have a sizeable lead in the table, the sooner he gets back to form the better.
Thibaut Courtois
At the end of the season if Chelsea go on to win the league, they will look back at this game and two important saves from their keeper which helped get them over the line.
The Belgian's imposing presence must be so off-putting for opposition players when faced with him one-on-one.
