The Blues scored in the first period thanks to a header from Romelu Lukaku (28th).
In physical difficulty, they lost Reece James and Andreas Christensen to injury, then were joined in stoppage time on a header from Danny Welbeck (90 + 1).
This draw temporarily places Chelsea five points behind leaders Manchester City, who traveled to Brentford in the evening, and who therefore had the opportunity to widen the gap to eight points on the team coached by Thomas Tuchel.
