Cole Palmer scored for Chelsea in the first half before Bournemouth equalized from a penalty kick by Justin Kluivert early in the second half.
Antoine Semenyu then surprised the fans at Stamford Bridge when he fired a shot towards the near post that went beyond Robert Sanchez to make the score 2-1 in favor of Bournemouth.

But four minutes later, Yoani Wessa pulled one back in the 82nd minute with a shot from close range and with City defenders making several attempts.
Late-minute interventions to protect their team’s lead should have recognized the threat posed by Brentford.
