AFC Bournemouth 0-1 Chelsea, Premier League: Post-match reaction, ratings

To this point this season, the “map of the mine” in opposition to Chelsea is letting us have as a lot possession as we would like whereas maintaining excessive traces for so long as doable. With this actual recipe Bournemouth obtained the higher share of probabilities upfront, with Brazilian striker Evanilson making our defenders sweat a bit.

As soon as the hosts couldn’t sustain the stress, Chelsea began to get extra space upfront. Nonetheless our midfield had been not likely doing a adequate job in transition, with Enzo Fernández being sorely missed for this activity.

This compelled the likes of Cole Palmer to drop again to get issues going and when he wasn’t being hacked by the opposition, he was chargeable for most of our brilliance upfront. Twice Jackson obtained in a superb place to attain, however he was offside within the first one and had his shot parried by goalkeeper Mark Travers within the latter.

Nevertheless Bournemouth nearly obtained what they needed, with Robert Sánchez taking Evanilson down within the field. The penalty was awarded and the centre-forward did a very dangerous job along with his try, making our shot-stopper’s job a lot simpler as he parried his shot out of hazard.

Within the second half, we obtained our first glimpse of Jadon Sancho in a Chelsea shirt, changing Pedro Neto on the left wing. He was nearly immediately an improve on his Portuguese counterpart, establishing Marc Cucurella for a menacing cross that didn’t meet a Chelsea participant and helping Nicolas Jackson for a shot that went too excessive up within the field.

However as soon as once more it appeared as if Bournemouth had the higher output from their offensive forays. Sánchez was once more pushed to the limelight along with his interventions.

Supervisor Enzo Maresca continued to make modifications, looking for a approach in the direction of the profitable purpose. Sancho had already panned out and we solely wanted an additional push to get there. And we did get there with Nkunku, lastly making good out of a number of tried assists from the English winger.
