Chelsea Dominate Possession but Lack Cutting Edge
Chelsea controlled large stretches of the match, holding 60% possession and dictating the tempo through midfield. Despite their control, the Blues struggled to break down Bournemouth’s compact defensive structure.
Sources:
Marc Guiu and Pedro Neto both picked up late yellow cards as Chelsea pushed for a winner, but their final ball repeatedly let them down.
Bournemouth Hold Firm and Threaten on the Break
Bournemouth, playing at home, were disciplined and well‑organised. They absorbed pressure effectively and looked dangerous in transition, especially through the wide channels.

Although they created fewer chances, the Cherries’ defensive resilience earned them a valuable point — and a clean sheet — after a difficult run of form.
