Burnley assistant manager Craig Bellamy hailed their character for Saturday's 2-2 draw at Chelsea.

Lorenz Assignon saw red for the visitors as Dara O'Sha struck a late equaliser for the point. Manager Vincent Kompany was also sent off on the day.

Bellamy said, "It was incredible, incredible. How selfless they were able to play for each other, how demanding of each other they were.

“To be able to show the patience they showed, working together, the organisation, the commitment, you couldn't be nothing short of proud watching it.

“The manager is more defensively-minded than myself because of where I played, but he really enjoyed that. He's really proud of it as well.

“Maybe the final pass at times we would have liked to have been better, but every time we were in possession we were able to progress up the pitch and get in Chelsea's penalty area.

“It was more just the final ball that could have been better at times but we felt we were able to do something here.

“Now out of possession, Chelsea went to a diamond so they were able to cause us a lot of problems. We tried to get a handle on that but if you watch the game back, especially in the first-half, it was end to end quite a lot. A lot of chances.

“Second-half, due to the circumstances of us having 10 men, we had to be a little bit deeper, solid with two banks of four and then look to counter and take our opportunities when we were able to get them."
