🔗 Share this article Antoine Semenyo Pivotal Contribution Helps AFC Bournemouth a Dramatic Draw at Stamford Bridge. The forward completed the full game while his counterpart was withdrawn after the hour mark. At a Glance Antoine Semenyo's long throws created goals for David Brooks and Justin Kluivert. Cole Palmer and Enzo Fernandez found the net for Chelsea in a frantic first half. 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. 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. 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. Fernandez made it 2-1 with a stunning strike into the top corner midway through the first half. Kluivert leveled the scores again shortly after, tapping home from another precise long throw delivered by Semenyo. Chelsea created further opportunities, but Bournemouth ended the first half strongly, testing goalkeeper Robert Sanchez with numerous attempts. 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. 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. Despite growing dominance in the latter stages, Chelsea could not find a decisive late goal. In injury time, Bournemouth substitute Enes Unal volleyed over from 12 yards out after a cross from Amine Adli. The result means Chelsea have managed just one victory in their last seven league outings. Bournemouth's winless streak now stretches to ten matches across all competitions.
