Chelsea vs Bournemouth summary: score, stats, goals and highlights | Premier League 2025/26
The Blues drop point for the third game running, after conceding an early goal at Stamford Bridge. Justin Kluivert levelled for the Cherries.
Chelsea welcome Bournemouth to Stamford Bridge with another game to prove their credentials. They shone in the first half against in-form Aston Villa at the weekend but fell apart in the second. Young talented players need to find some grit quickly.
The visitors haven’t won since October... and it’s the penultimate day of 2025. They are not expected to take much from this clash, but have a soon-to-be-Man City player well capable of taking the headlines.
