Antoine Semenyo Key Contribution Helps AFC Bournemouth a Dramatic Draw at Chelsea.
The forward completed the full game while his counterpart was withdrawn after the hour mark.
Match Summary
Antoine Semenyo's long throws created goals for David Brooks and Justin 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.
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. The match official awarded a penalty after a review by the Video Assistant Referee system.
Palmer calmly dispatched the penalty, placing it perfectly into the corner even though the keeper dove the right way. 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.
At halftime, Chelsea's manager made two changes, introducing captain Reece James and Pedro Neto for Josh Acheampong and Alejandro Garnacho.
A potential handball incident involving Gusto was quickly reviewed and not given by the video officials. 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.
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.
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.
