Bournemouth vs Chelsea 2024/2025
Transcript
00:00Always a good interview, Ollie Watkins. Let's take you to our final offering of the day then.
00:04The Vitality Stadium is our destination for Bournemouth against Chelsea.
00:07Bournemouth coming off their 3-2 win against Everton a couple of weeks ago.
00:11The key is starting line-up. Robbie Hill, you've got these two teams starting with Bournemouth.
00:15Yeah, two changes to that team that won right at Everton.
00:18Kepa can't play against his parents' club, so Travis comes in goal.
00:21Adam Smith comes in right back to the cap team.
00:24Into midfield where Lewis Cook's been a great service, ninth year at the club for him.
00:29He scored the equalising goal in that game against Everton.
00:32Always a threat in the wide areas for the Areola team.
00:35Semenu and Tavernier, they can play either side.
00:37And up front, up top, Eva Nielsen, 52 million dollar club record signing from Porto.
00:42Got 25 goals in all competitions last season, including a hat-trick in the Champions League.
00:48Chelsea come to the south coast under Enzo Maresco, looking like this today.
00:52Yeah, it's two changes for them, Rebecca.
00:54Desarzi comes in, Gusto looks like he's out.
00:56I'd have to find out if Desarzi could play in that right-back role.
00:59And Artur Vega comes into midfield here.
01:01Enzo's not feeling well, 15 million dollars from Basel.
01:04Vega will look to play with Caicedo in the holding role.
01:09Good news is Cole Palmer does play.
01:11One goal, four assists for him in his last two Premier League appearances.
01:15He's so key to Chelsea.
01:16Mandewiecki made his debut for England midweek and got an assist for Harry Kane.
01:21And up front, Nicholas Jackson has got one goal, sorry, even two goals,
01:27one assist this season in his last two games.
01:29He's just signed a new two-year contract that takes him to 2033.
01:34Well, it feels very different for Bournemouth and Chelsea compared to almost precisely 12 months ago
01:39when these two met here.
01:40Both were in the Premier League's bottom seven at the time.
01:44One stuck with their head coach, one changed it up.
01:46And now Andy Townsend, there's a brighter outlook for both.
01:50Yeah, there is, yeah.
01:51Certainly for Bournemouth, huge three points up for Willison
01:55to give them a lot of confidence going into this particular game.
01:58Chelsea against Palace created lots of chances, never quite took them.
02:01Had to settle for a point, but there have been some encouraging signs lately.
02:06It's worth, even in these early stages, Chelsea just about nudging it on the win probability,
02:11but not with the eyes.
02:12Here's Tavenier!
02:13Oh!
02:14That was a belter.
02:15Wow.
02:16And Sanchez was beaten all ends up.
02:18What a hit.
02:19What a strike that is from Tavenier.
02:22As soon as he receives that, he wants to strike it.
02:24Watch him.
02:25Out of his foot, he's having a look now.
02:27Look, I'm going to let this fly.
02:28And what a beautiful contact he makes there.
02:31Desperately unlucky.
02:33Robert Sanchez is a giant between the Chelsea goals and there's nowhere near that.
02:39Come on, boys!
02:47Give it to Kluivert.
02:49High for Fahner.
02:50Tavenier, Evan Nielsen.
02:54Medjian, ever closer to that first form of goal.
02:58It's a difficult one to generate the power for him.
03:00Yeah, again Chelsea, architects of their own downfall there.
03:04Overplaying a little bit there for Fahner, trying to pick a short pass out.
03:07Doesn't get there.
03:09Clever ball in from Tavenier.
03:11Really demand a bit more from Chelsea.
03:15Oh, Tassasi, caught on his toes.
03:18Tavenier strides away from him.
03:20Great ball, Tavenier.
03:21It's Kluivert.
03:23Here's Evan Nielsen, but the flag is going to go up against him.
03:28Unlucky, unlucky.
03:30Good play.
03:31Nice hit there from Justin Cotter.
03:32Had to get over the top of that.
03:35And again, Tassasi there.
03:37Look, what are you thinking?
03:38Get back, sprint, coasting, waiting for others.
03:42No offside flag.
03:43That's a nice hit.
03:44Now the flag, obviously, when it comes back off the goalkeeper,
03:47it goes up on Evan Nielsen.
03:48But I think Bournemouth can do more of that.
03:51I really do.
03:52I think this Chelsea team look a little unsure.
03:59Palmer cleverly.
04:01Picking up on the pieces.
04:03Jackson one side of him.
04:05It's Jackson.
04:07It's a great recovery from Sanessi.
04:10It's a brilliant challenge.
04:12I really like the football.
04:14The build-up is lovely.
04:15The dummy from Cole Palmer is perfect.
04:17And then Oni Madawaki grabs that ball on his left foot
04:20and then runs right through the heart of that Bournemouth half of the field.
04:23That's really clever there.
04:27Now it's just about the final pass.
04:29Which way are you going to go?
04:30Left or right?
04:31He decides to go to Nicklaus Jackson,
04:33who's right on the wire as opposed to being offside.
04:36Again, he might have done with a little bit more pace on that.
04:39Could have perhaps hit it on his left side
04:41rather than waiting for it to come across on his right.
04:45Nicklaus is slowing, recognising what's in front.
04:47That's better.
04:48Carwell, Jackson travels with the stop.
04:53Well, he was allowed to advance Levi Carwell
04:55probably further than Bournemouth wanted him to.
04:57That's a decent run.
04:58The foul is short.
04:59There's an opportunity and Sanchez has cleared his man out.
05:02And it is a Bournemouth penalty.
05:06Of that there is no doubt.
05:07The colour of the card is yellow for Robert Sanchez,
05:11who Anthony Taylor clearly deems made an attempt at least to get to the ball.
05:18The moment that he has been waiting for
05:21for a few weeks now, Evan Nielsen.
05:24The biggest chance of the lot to get himself going in a Bournemouth shirt.
05:29Evan Nielsen.
05:31Sanchez with a great save.
05:35The penalty was good.
05:37The stop from the Chelsea keeper was brilliant.
05:40Yes, it's a great save.
05:41It's not a good penalty.
05:42I don't think Chris that one.
05:44It's telegraphed a little bit.
05:45It's a side foot.
05:47And Sanchez, as I mentioned earlier, is a giant.
05:49If he goes the right way, he's going to save that sort of strike.
05:53He's going to get it.
05:54You've got to hit it harder than that.
05:55You've got to be braver than that.
05:56You've got to tuck that right into the corner.
06:07The lucky break has come for Christy.
06:09Christy cleverly out to Semenyo.
06:13Christy off the post.
06:18Maybe via a touch on the way to
06:21Bournemouth edging ever closer to the opening goal.
06:25Turn the ball over nicely.
06:26Then again, get it wide.
06:29First time delivery.
06:31Christy, that one just glancing off the outside of maybe Wesley
06:34Fabana's boot.
06:37Then just off the outside of the post, but good spell again for
06:40Bournemouth.
06:41They've got to make it.
06:45It's another goal to add to Nicholas Jackson's collection
06:48after six Premier League goals in his last eight games.
06:51Spanning back to last season.
06:54Here's Christopher Nkunku, who is on in his place, and he does
06:58have a couple of goals this season, but both of them in
07:00Europe and both of them against Sevette for Chelsea.
07:03Maybe Jadon Sancho.
07:05Here's Nkunku.
07:06Great strength.
07:07There's the finish.
07:12Christopher Nkunku off the bench and possibly Chelsea's match
07:16winner.
07:22His first Premier League goal of the season and the substitutes
07:26combining.
07:27Nkunku with the finish.
07:29Jadon Sancho making things happen too for Chelsea.
07:33Great finish.
07:34I just thought it might have even just got away from
07:37Christopher Nkunku, but he used his body and his strength so well
07:41just to keep it going and keep it alive.
07:47There's the trademark celebration.
07:50Balloon pops by Christopher Nkunku.
07:54Watch him here.
07:57Nkunku just drifting in behind Zabani.
08:01Just looks like he gets away from him and Sanessi is afraid to
08:04go and tackle him.
08:05I think he's afraid to touch him because he's in the box and
08:08then he just goes after him.
08:10Just there.
08:11You think that's the defenders, but it's not.
08:14Then all of a sudden Nkunku just sees that far post is
08:19wide open and he just prods it past the goalkeeper and that's
08:22a massive goal for Chelsea tonight.
08:24That really is.
08:35Here's Semenyov for Bournemouth.
08:38Who do love a late goal.
08:40It's billing across goal.
08:41It's a Bournemouth corner and they still have something to
08:44offer this game.
08:45It's another good block there.
08:46Levi Caldwell.
08:49Billing gets in behind Casedo.
08:52It's a really good block.
08:55They can just see these last few seconds out.
08:58And that is all that now stands between Chelsea and another
09:02Premier League away win.
09:05Tosin does his duty.
09:08And Chelsea are over the line.
09:10Almost unbeaten start to the Premier League season is over.
09:15This was at times not fluent Chelsea, but they showed grit.
09:20They progressed as the game progressed.
09:23And ultimately the match winner, Christopher Nkunku from the
09:26bench with the assist from Jadon Sancho, ensuring that Chelsea
09:32are making positive strides Sunday.
