Antoine Semenyo Pivotal Role Helps Bournemouth a Chaotic Draw at Chelsea.
Semenyo played the entire match as Palmer was substituted in the second half.
Key Moments
Two assists from Semenyo's long throw-ins led to strikes by Brooks and Kluivert.
Chelsea's goals came from Palmer and Fernandez during a chaotic opening 45 minutes.
The second half's clearest chance fell to Fernandez, who failed to convert.
Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo, reportedly close to a big-money transfer, was at the heart of the action, providing two assists and conceding a penalty in a dramatic 2-2 stalemate against Chelsea.
The 25-year-old, who is in deep discussions over a potential multi-million pound move, nonetheless featured for his current side. His distinctive long throw-ins proved a potent weapon, leading to goals for teammates David Brooks and Justin Kluivert.
The deadlock was broken early when Semenyo's first long throw caused havoc, allowing Brooks to score from close range in the sixth minute.
The home side equalized and went ahead following a foul by Semenyo on Estevao in the box. The match official awarded a penalty after a review by the Video Assistant Referee system.
Cole Palmer stepped up and converted the penalty, finding the corner despite the goalkeeper guessing correctly. Enzo Fernandez then extended Chelsea's lead, firing a superb shot into the top corner after 23 minutes.
Kluivert leveled the scores again shortly after, tapping home from another precise long throw delivered by Semenyo.
The visitors finished the first period on top, forcing Sanchez into several saves from their 14 first-half efforts.
At halftime, Chelsea's manager made two changes, introducing captain Reece James and Pedro Neto for Josh Acheampong and Alejandro Garnacho.
Early in the second half, a handball appeal against Malo Gusto was dismissed by the VAR official. Former Chelsea goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic then produced an excellent save to deny Estevao from distance.
The best chance of the second half fell to Enzo Fernandez in the 77th minute, but he blazed his shot over the bar from inside the box.
Moments earlier, Palmer was substituted for Joao Pedro, a change that was met with disapproval from some home supporters. Although they enjoyed more possession late on, the hosts were unable to craft a winning goal.
Deep into added time, Unal connected with an Adli cross but sent his volley over the bar from a central position.
The result means Chelsea have managed just one victory in their last seven league outings. For Bournemouth, the point does little to improve their own form, as they remain without a win in ten games.
