🔗 Share this article Antoine Semenyo's Key Contribution Earns Bournemouth a Chaotic 2-2 Draw at Stamford Bridge. Semenyo played the entire match as Palmer was substituted in the second half. At a Glance 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. Enzo Fernandez missed the best opportunity of a goalless second period. 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. Despite being on the verge of a lucrative switch, the 25-year-old attacker started for his club. His distinctive long throw-ins proved a potent weapon, leading to goals for teammates David Brooks and Justin Kluivert. Brooks opened the scoring just six minutes in, converting from close quarters after a dangerous long throw from Semenyo. Chelsea responded and then took the lead after Semenyo fouled Estevao Willian inside the penalty area. Referee Sam Barrott pointed to the spot after consulting the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) monitor. 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. Bournemouth hit back almost immediately, as another Semenyo long throw was turned in by Justin Kluivert from close range just four minutes later. The visitors finished the first period on top, forcing Sanchez into several saves from their 14 first-half efforts. The home side's boss reshuffled his team at the break, bringing on James and Neto for Acheampong and Garnacho. Early in the second half, a handball appeal against Malo Gusto was dismissed by the VAR official. Petrovic, once of Chelsea, made a fantastic stop to keep out Estevao's powerful drive from the edge of the area. Fernandez had the clearest opportunity to win it late on, but he skied his effort from a promising position inside the penalty area. Palmer's withdrawal for Pedro was greeted by boos from a section of the home crowd as the manager's side sought control. Although they enjoyed more possession late on, the hosts were unable to craft a winning goal. In injury time, Bournemouth substitute Enes Unal volleyed over from 12 yards out after a cross from Amine Adli. This draw extends Chelsea's poor run to only one win in their previous seven Premier League matches. Bournemouth's winless streak now stretches to ten matches across all competitions.
