Chelsea had captain Reece James to thank for rescuing a late 2-2 draw against Bournemouth on Tuesday.
Chelsea dominated the statistics in the first half, firing 13 shots compared to Bournemouth’s one, and deservedly took an early lead through Cole Palmer’s cool low finish on 13 minutes.
Justin Kluivert equalized shortly after the restart from the penalty spot after Antoine Semenyo was brought down by Moises Caicedo and, after David Brooks avoided a potential red card for catching Marco Cucurella in the face, Semenyo hit an own goal from inside the box. put Bournemouth in a commanding position.
The Cherries looked set to hold on for an impressive victory, only for the returning Reece James to curl a wonderful free-kick into Mark Travers’ bottom corner to earn his side a share of the spoils deep into stoppage time.
