GOALKEEPER Brian Jensen was the Burnley hero as Chelsea crashed out of the Carling Cup 5-4 on penalties following the 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge.

Jensen saved from captain Wayne Bridge and John Mikel Obi to put the Coca-Cola Championship side into the quarter-finals after extra-time.

Returning striker Didier Drogba put Chelsea in front in the 27th minute but Burnley substitute Ade Akinbiyi equalised with 20 minutes remaining.

Both sides ended the game with 10 men after Burnley's Steve Caldwell was sent off for a second bookable offence late on, while Franco Di Santo was forced off injured with all Chelsea's substitutes already used.

An injury to Juliano Belletti forced Chelsea to make an early change and he was replaced by Frank Lampard in the 25th minute. England midfielder Lampard made an instant impact as Chelsea went in front in the 27th minute.

His precision pass to Drogba set the striker on a trademark run into the Burnley penalty area. Drogba left Michael Duff on the floor as he swept into the area and curled the ball around the unprotected Jensen.

Burnley, sensing that they were still in with a chance, replaced Martin Paterson with Akinbiyi on the hour. Drogba, the main threat to Burnley in the opening half started to look an isolated figure as the Blues settled for containment rather than a decisive second goal.

Chelsea's frustration was underlined by boss Luiz Felipe Scolari's next move, which was to replace Drogba with Di Santo in the 68th minute. But Chelsea were stunned in the 70th minute.

Chris Eagles burst on to a pass from Robbie Blake and when his shot was saved by Cudicini, substitute Akinbiyi pounced to equalise.

Chelsea's misery continued when an injury to Di Santo reduced them to 10 men three minutes into the first period of added time and the numbers were even out moments later when Caldwell was sent off for a second bookable offence after blocking Malouda.

But that was the last event of note before the game went to penalties and Jensen became Burnley's hero.
