Barkley made his first Premier League start this term as Tuchel tweaked the leaders' line-up at Stamford Bridge.
The 27-yr-old got his uncommon risk because Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner are injured, even as Mason Mount changed into only match sufficient for a alternative's function after a teeth infection.
Barkley began in a 'false 9' position in Chelsea's 3-guy attack and brought arguably the great overall performance of his stricken 3-12 months spell with the Blues.
Since signing from Everton in 2018, Barkley has located it impossible to recapture the dynamic shows that made him the darling of Goodison Park.
He spent final season in exile on loan at Aston Villa and regarded sure to sooner or later go away Chelsea.
But Tuchel has stored him around this season and in handiest his 2d start in all competitions, Barkley in the end showed his nice.
Linking with the midfield and driving ahead dangerously, even as showing his range of passing, Barkley turned into Chelsea's maximum influential discern towards Burnley.
Ironically, Barkley's final contribution earlier than being substituted to a standing ovation changed into to raise a shot over the bar that would have put Chelsea two goals up after Kai Havertz's first 1/2 opener.
Barkley wasn't alone in missing a very good threat as Chelsea fluffed a host of possibilities to kill off lowly Burnley before Matej Vydra's 79th minute equaliser.
Blues boss Tuchel might have second guessed his selection to take off Barkley, and he turned into brief to praise the player's contribution.
