Semenyo Shines as Bournemouth Extends Unbeaten Run
Antoine Semenyo was the standout performer for Bournemouth, playing a pivotal role in their fightback. His powerful strike in the second half gave Bournemouth a temporary lead, leaving Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sánchez with no chance. This goal marked Semenyo’s sixth in the Premier League this season, showcasing his growing influence in the team.
Earlier, Semenyo won a penalty after being fouled by Moises Caicedo in the box. Justin Kluivert stepped up and calmly converted the spot-kick, leveling the score. Bournemouth’s ability to score through substitutes has been a key factor this season, with 11 goals coming from players off the bench—more than any other Premier League side.
Chelsea’s Mixed Fortunes in Entertaining Encounter
Chelsea started brightly, taking the lead in the 13th minute through Cole Palmer. The young midfielder capitalized on Nicolas Jackson’s excellent work to score his 20th goal involvement of the 2024-25 campaign. However, Chelsea’s inability to hold onto their lead has been a recurring issue this season.
Despite their early dominance, Chelsea struggled to maintain control as Bournemouth grew into the game. The home side’s frustration was evident as they failed to capitalize on several chances, leaving the door open for Bournemouth’s comeback.
Reece James Rescues Chelsea in Stoppage Time
Just when it seemed Bournemouth would secure a famous victory, Reece James stepped up with a moment of brilliance. In the fifth minute of added time, James curled a pinpoint free-kick past Mark Travers to salvage a point for Chelsea. This late equalizer was a testament to James’ quality and composure under pressure.
However, the draw extends Chelsea’s winless run to five matches (D3 L2), a stark contrast to their five-game winning streak earlier in the season. For Bournemouth, the result solidifies their impressive form as they continue to climb the Premier League table.
