Events

Match Events

  • 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against AFC Bournemouth and Chelsea FC has kicked off!
  • 5' The 26-year-old Joao Felix has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 10' Antoine Semenyo needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 1 Red cards this season.
  • 15' With 2 assists to his name this season, Nicolas Jackson is clearly more than just a goal scorer for AFC Bournemouth.
  • 18' The referee shows AFC Bournemouth player a card on 18.
  • 23' Supporters expect more eagerness from Mark Travers, as he is very good at scoring at Vitality Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 28' The home supporters are growing impatient. AFC Bournemouth must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 31' Wesley Fofana was booked on 31.
  • 35' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Lewis Cook.
  • 36' Cucurella has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 36.
  • 37' A moment of madness from Robert Sanchez on 37 minutes earns him a card. Chelsea FC will be frustrated.
  • 38' That looks like a foul for a card for Adam Smith.
  • 43' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Enzo Maresca will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 46' Another change for Chelsea FC made on 46 minute. Pedro Neto leaves to be changed by Jadon Sancho.
  • 51' Over 51 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 52' Nicolas Jackson is having his name booked by the referee on 52.
  • 57' Jadon Sancho is having his name booked by the referee on 57.
  • 59' Controversy at the stadium! Justin Kluivert argues furiously but the card stands.
  • 62' The whistle greets Noni Madueke as he departs to be replaced by Joao Felix.
  • 67' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Tosin Adarabioyo suffering a number of foals already.
  • 72' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 75' A tactical swap from AFC Bournemouth — Philip Billing on, Justin Kluivert off on 75 minutes.

  • 80' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Marcos Senesi.
  • 83' AFC Bournemouth ring the changes. Marcus Tavernier has done his job and it is now time for Enes Unal to step up.
  • 86' Christopher Nkunku makes no mistake. The score reads 0-1 and Chelsea FC are in front.
  • 87' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Renato Veiga.
  • 90' Controversy at the stadium! Joao Felix argues furiously but the card stands.
  • AFC Bournemouth will have plenty to reflect on. Chelsea FC were simply the better side today.
