Mauricio Pochettino: 'Nervous' Chelsea fail to back up fourth-place claims

Mauricio Pochettino's claim that Chelsea "should be in fourth position" in the Premier League looked increasingly questionable after a "disappointing" 2-2 with 10-man Burnley at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues led twice thanks to goals from Cole Palmer but failed to secure three points against a Clarets side who were a man down for the entirety of the second half following a red card for Lorenz Assignon.

The outcome led to boos from home fans at the final whistle.

"It is a result that shows that we need to improve in many areas if we want to be competitive," Pochettino told BBC Match of the Day.
