Well done BurnleyChelsea 1-1 Burnley (aet)Burnley win 5-4 on penalties Championship side Burnley stunned Premier League leaders Chelsea after a dramatic penalty shoot-out at Stamford Bridge in the Carling Cup fourth round. Burnley keeper Brian Jensen was the hero after he dived full-stretch to divert John Mikel Obi's decisive penalty to safety. Didier Drogba had given Chelsea a first-half lead with a sumptuous finish from a Frank Lampard pass. But a spirited second-half from Burnley saw Ade Akinbiyi sweep in an equaliser. Chelsea made six changes to the side that defeated Blackburn 2-0 at the weekend, with striker Drogba recalled to the starting line-up after overcoming his recent injury problems. But it was Burnley who started brightly, and forced Chelsea onto the counter-attack in the early stages, with Chris Eagles and Joey Gudjonsson looking the most likely to break the Blues' rearguard. The home side soon managed to exert their influence on the game and a foul on Drogba gave Alex the chance to unleash a piledriver 25-yards out from goal. FULL REPORT |

However, the Metropolitan Police confirmed on Thursday that it is looking into the incident. FULL STORY |
