Chelsea started the match strong, with Cole Palmer scoring an early goal in the 13th minute to give the Blues an edge. 

However, Bournemouth, under Andoni Iraola, refused to back down, and even turned the game around in the second half.

Ultimately, Reece James' brilliant free-kick in stoppage time was enough to share the spoils at the Bridge.

Despite the intense action on the pitch, Saweetie’s presence stole some of the spotlight.
