EPL Table: 2017 Premier League Standings After Sunday's Week 25 Matches

Chelsea extended their lead at the top of the Premier League table to 10 points on Sunday despite being held to a 1-1 draw by Burnley at Turf Moor.

The point stretched the Blues' advantage into double digits, but Chelsea manager Antonio Conte will know his side missed a great opportunity to move even further in front after second-place Tottenham Hotspur lost 2-0 at Liverpool on Saturday.

While Chelsea boosted their bid to win this season's title, last season's champions, Leicester City, continue to struggle against the threat of relegation. The Foxes lost a crucial clash against fellow relegation candidates Swansea City, losing 2-0 at the Liberty Stadium.

Swansea moved above Leicester and Middlesbrough into 15th, while the reigning champions are just one place and a single point above the bottom three.

Recap

Chelsea made a fast start against a Burnley side that is adept at making life difficult for the division's big boys on home soil. The Blues moved the ball at pace, passing slickly through the lines with quick and neat exchanges between midfield and the forward line.

It was hardly a surprise when Pedro put the visitors in front. The former Barcelona forward continued his prolific form, according to WhoScored.com:

However, Pedro's goal didn't prove the springboard for further Chelsea dominance. Instead, the Blues found themselves harried and unsettled by the Clarets' high-energy, direct approach.

Burnley played a smart game designed to bypass Chelsea's midfield terriers, N'Golo Kante and Nemanja Matic, by playing direct balls into the channels. Strike partners Ashley Barnes and Andre Gray were key to the plan.

Burnley boss Sean Dyche was bold enough to play 4-4-2 and was rewarded for his bravado by seeing Gray and Barnes relentlessly press Chelsea's back three. Gray's tough running forced shaky Blues centre-back David Luiz into a series of mistakes.

The Clarets' willingness to push the ball long meant the Clarets didn't have much possession, but they always posed a more immediate threat with what they had. A graphic from BBC Match of the Day illustrated the contrast in styles between the two teams:

The home side's pressure saw a free-kick won in shooting range, one winger Robbie Brady didn't waste. Brady curled an exquisite shot from distance just out of the reach of Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.

Burnley kept the pressure on up top, but their real heroes were found in midfield and at the back. In particular, Joey Barton made life difficult for Chelsea, while centre-back Michael Keane was the standout figure in a resolute back four.

Keane, once on the books at Manchester United, was outstanding in dealing with crosses from out wide. He also stood up and tackled well in one-on-one situations.

The 24-year-old was a deserved man of the match, per Sky Sports Statto:

Keane impressed, but the whole Burnley back line merited praise, especially after keeping Chelsea's chief danger man, striker Diego Costa, quiet. The Spain international was oddly subdued, something in danger of becoming a pattern, per WhoScored.com:

With Costa kept under wraps, Chelsea were unable to make the lion's share of possession count after the break. The Blues got numbers forward, but not even the introduction of playmaker Cesc Fabregas helped Chelsea create cleaner chances in the box.

As the second half progressed, the quality of play diminished sharply. It was a sentiment expressed well by Simon Johnson of the London Evening Standard:

Burnley preserved the point without too much jeopardy. In the process, the Clarets became the toughest home side in the division, according to Squawka Football:

Later in the day, Leicester slipped deeper into the relegation mire after Swansea beat them in south Wales. The Swans seized control when centre-back Alfie Mawson opened the scoring inside the final 10 minutes of the first half.

Mawson has made a niche of finding the net this season, with only one other defender in the division matching his scoring tally, per OptaJoe:

The difference in the performances of both teams was best summed by the confidence with which each side played. Already buoyed by Mawson's goal, Swansea moved the ball with assurance and quality between the lines.

A typically stylish combination of passes involving midfielder Jack Cork, schemer Gylfi Sigurdsson and centre-forward Fernando Llorente led to a second goal for the hosts. Sigurdsson and Llorente exchanged a deft one-two, with the former sliding the return through for Martin Olsson, who duly took his shot quickly to beat Leicester stopper Kasper Schmeichel.

Olsson got the goal, but Sigurdsson's creative contribution wasn't overlooked by Match of the Day:

Leicester couldn't muster a response because of their lack of impetus in forward areas. Striker Jamie Vardy was again anonymous, but he was hardly helped by the absence of any drive and ingenuity from the flanks.

Knowing he had to change things, Foxes boss Claudio Ranieri introduced Ben Chilwell for left-back Christian Fuchs while also removing winger Marc Albrighton for centre-forward Islam Slimani.

Yet the changes did little to improve Leicester's fortunes. Midfielder Wilfred Ndidi was the only Foxes player who stood out, but the misfiring Vardy and Co. consistently wasted the 20-year-old's accurate passes.

Leicester can't kid themselves any longer. They are well and truly embroiled in a scrap for survival. Unless big players like Vardy hit form again, it's a fight Ranieri's men won't win.

The only consolation for Leicester came from every member of the bottom three losing on Saturday. By contrast, those still chasing the title will have savoured seeing leaders Chelsea drop two precious points.
