Chelsea 0-1 Bournemouth: Cherries Shock Blues At Stamford Bridge

Chelsea were beaten again in the Premier League, going down 1-0 at home to Bournemouth.

The Blues rarely threatened in a lacklustre display and fell foul of VAR as the linesman’s flag was overruled and Dan Gosling netted an 85th minute winner for the Cherries.

Gosling struck an 84th-minute winner when he flicked the ball over Kepa Arrizabalaga and into the net despite standing with his back to goal, ending Bournemouth’s run of five successive league losses.

Kepa was made to pay for another bout of poor positioning, while Chelsea were punished for an incoherent and toothless display that will have left boss Frank Lampard far from impressed.

Lampard has demanded more “personality” from his Chelsea players in a bid to arrest their league slump, but despite a host of big names there was precious little star quality on view in west London.

Instead, in-form striker Tammy Abraham was too isolated too often, with team-mates unable to provide the service to capitalise on his sharpness in front of goal.
