Chelsea's Home Curse Deepens: Burnley Snaps Up a Point at Stamford Bridge
21 February 2026
Chelsea's Home Struggles Deepen
Chelsea were held to a 1-1 draw by Burnley at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, continuing their run of dropped points in the Premier League and leaving the home crowd sighing in unison.
Despite taking the lead, the Blues failed to hold on, turning home wins into missed chances and dropping 17 points from winning positions at home, according to Soccerway.
Only in the 1995/1996 season did Chelsea post a worse home record, when they squandered 20 points after leading.
With the draw, Chelsea sit fourth on 45 points, 13 behind league leaders Arsenal.
Key Stats and Standings
That result keeps Chelsea on 45 points in fourth, while Burnley collect a valuable away point as the table tightens.
Punchline: Chelsea's defense is so porous that even their own umbrella is needed to keep the goal from leaking. Punchline 2: If consistency were cash, Chelsea would have been paid in monopoly money this season.
