On Saturday, Chelsea's hopes of winning their first English Premier League title since the 2009-2010 season took a huge twist after their 1-1 draw with Burnley.
The Blues welcomed the relegation-threatened side to Stamford Bridge in search of three points, but had to settle for one thanks to an 81st minute equalizer from Ben Mee.
Still sitting at the top of the table, the west London club's lead over second-placed Manchester City was slashed to five points after the first round of MatchDay 26 fixtures wrapped up.
However, despite the disappointing result, the talking point from the 1-1 draw had nothing to do with the score line, but rather the sending off of Nemanja Matic.
The Serbian midfielder received a straight red during the 70th minute for a shove on Clarets striker Ashley Barnes. What made things more interesting was that Matic's anger was in reaction to a nasty, leg-breaking challenge from the Austrian forward, which surprisingly went unpunished.

In the wake of this blunder of a decision from referee Martin Atkinson, Barnes has seen his Wikipedia page altered in hilarious fashion, with some not-so-kind words from Piers Morgan on the 25-year-old being referenced.

Of course, Jose Mourinho was far from pleased with how things played out at Stamford Bridge. The Portuguese boss, who believes a campaign is being ran against his team, had this to say after the game:
“I’m happy that I’m not stupid and I understood everything a couple of months ago,” Mourinho stated. “If you tell me this story that started a couple of months ago finished today and now we have 12 matches to play with an advantage of five points, I tell you [we will be] champions. But I don’t know if that story ends here or if you have more waiting for us.”
When asked whether the Blues would appeal Matic's red card, the Special One responded with: “Have you ever seen Chelsea win an appeal?”
