Chelsea entertained Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge earlier tonight as they hoped to secure a good result at home in the Premier League. The Blues made a slow start to the game as they conceded the opening goal in the sixth minute when David Brooks found the back of the net for the visitors. However, Cole Palmer equalised from the penalty spot just nine minutes later. Enzo Fernandez gave Chelsea the lead in the 23rd minute, which was cancelled out by Justin Kluivert’s effort just four minutes later. Enzo Maresca’s men went into the half-time break with a 2-2 scoreline.
