Chelsea dropped points for the third consecutive match after their match against AFC Bournemouth ended in a goalless draw in the English Premier League (EPL) match at the Vitality Stadium.
Chelsea remained at fourth place in the Premier League standings. They have 25 points in 15 matches, with seven draws, four wins, and as many losses. Bournemouth climbed up to 13th place with 20 points in 15 games. They have secured five wins with as many draws, and losses to their name. The match started with Chelsea being reprieved twice by an offside decision early on. Evanilson's positioning caused Semenyo's close-range finish to be disallowed. Bournemouth, though they had opened the scoring, had Antoine Semenyo's strike disallowed following a VAR check due to an Evanilson offside in the build-up. Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez showed impressive goalkeeping after he saved back-to-back saves on the stroke of half-time against Alex Scott and Semenyo as the first half ended goalless. During the second half, Bournemouth's Djordje Petrovic was finally called upon in the 49th minute. Petrovic stopped Pedro Neto's low shot before the Portuguese winger curled in for Garnacho's header that clipped the post as Chelsea's pressure ended without any reward. Robert Sanchez enjoyed a quieter closing half as neither team could find the decisive goal.
