🔗 Share this article A. Semenyo's Key Contribution Secures Bournemouth a Dramatic Draw at Chelsea. The forward completed the full game while his counterpart was withdrawn after the hour mark. At a Glance Two assists from Semenyo's long throw-ins led to strikes by Brooks and Kluivert. Cole Palmer and Enzo Fernandez found the net for Chelsea in a frantic first half. Enzo Fernandez missed the best opportunity of a goalless second period. In the midst of advanced transfer talks, Bournemouth's Antoine Semenyo delivered a mixed performance, setting up two goals and giving away a spot-kick in a thrilling draw with Chelsea. Despite being on the verge of a lucrative switch, the 25-year-old attacker started for his club. His distinctive long throw-ins proved a potent weapon, leading to goals for teammates David Brooks and Justin Kluivert. Brooks opened the scoring just six minutes in, converting from close quarters after a dangerous long throw from Semenyo. Chelsea responded and then took the lead after Semenyo fouled Estevao Willian inside the penalty area. The match official awarded a penalty after a review by the Video Assistant Referee system. Cole Palmer stepped up and converted the penalty, finding the corner despite the goalkeeper guessing correctly. Fernandez made it 2-1 with a stunning strike into the top corner midway through the first half. Kluivert leveled the scores again shortly after, tapping home from another precise long throw delivered by Semenyo. Chelsea created further opportunities, but Bournemouth ended the first half strongly, testing goalkeeper Robert Sanchez with numerous attempts. At halftime, Chelsea's manager made two changes, introducing captain Reece James and Pedro Neto for Josh Acheampong and Alejandro Garnacho. Early in the second half, a handball appeal against Malo Gusto was dismissed by the VAR official. Former Chelsea goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic then produced an excellent save to deny Estevao from distance. Fernandez had the clearest opportunity to win it late on, but he skied his effort from a promising position inside the penalty area. Palmer's withdrawal for Pedro was greeted by boos from a section of the home crowd as the manager's side sought control. Although they enjoyed more possession late on, the hosts were unable to craft a winning goal. Deep into added time, Unal connected with an Adli cross but sent his volley over the bar from a central position. The result means Chelsea have managed just one victory in their last seven league outings. Bournemouth's winless streak now stretches to ten matches across all competitions.
