Higuain throws bibs and bottles on Chelsea bench after being subbed off by Sarri despite stunning goal

GONZALO HIGUAIN came top of the strops – on a night when Chelsea were defensive flops.

The Argentine hurled bibs and water bottles to the floor when he was taken off as the Blues searched in vain for a winner in the 2-2 draw with Burnley.

Higuain was perhaps releasing all his frustration after struggling to impress on loan from Juventus.

Yet he had brilliantly netted one of Chelsea's two early goals after they fell behind, only for Ashley Barnes to volley Burnley's point-saver on 24 minutes.

Higuain appeared upset with Frenchman Olivier Giroud replacing him 13 minutes from time.

After getting back to the bench, Higuain was still agitated – most notably when he raised a bottle above his head and  threw it down.

Team-mates comforted the 31-year-old as Giroud and Co remained fourth after failing to break the Clarets down.

Victory would have seen Chelsea leapfrog Tottenham – by two points.

And Burnley No1 admitted Higuain's goal had been unstoppable.

The England keeper told Sky Sports: "It was a massive point. Gonzalo Higuain's shot was a rocket. I couldn't get my hands onto it.

"We can soak up pressure and make it awkward for teams."
