Chelsea were left frustrated on home soil after failing to overcome a struggling Bournemouth

Chelsea were left frustrated on home soil after failing to overcome a struggling Bournemouth, dropping more valuable points and losing further ground on the Premier League’s leading pack.

It was a night to forget for the hosts at Stamford Bridge. The result hit so hard that Enzo Maresca, head coach of Chelsea, did not even appear at the post-match press conference — a telling sign of the mood inside the camp.

The match itself was a whirlwind of momentum shifts and defensive chaos. Chelsea struck first and looked set to take control, only to unravel once again at the back. Remarkably, both goals conceded came directly from throw-ins — a glaring lapse in concentration that summed up the evening.

Bournemouth, despite arriving in London in crisis mode, showed resilience and composure when it mattered most. Turning the game around after falling behind, they capitalised on Chelsea’s defensive disorganisation and grew in belief as the contest became increasingly open.

In the end, the match finished all square — a draw celebrated almost like a win by Bournemouth, but received with visible disappointment by the home crowd.
