Premier League: In a dramatic Premier League showdown at the Vitality Stadium, substitute Christopher Nkunku's late strike secured a narrow 1-0 win for Chelsea over Bournemouth, in a match that saw a record-breaking 14 yellow cards.
Despite the home side dominating much of the contest, including missed opportunities from their 40 million euros signing Evanilson and two close-range efforts denied by the woodwork, Bournemouth couldn't find a breakthrough. Evanilson's failure to convert a first-half penalty, brilliantly saved by Chelsea keeper Robert Sanchez, was a key moment of frustration for the Cherries.
The game looked set to end in a stalemate until Nkunku, coming off the bench, latched onto a precise through-ball from debutant Jadon Sancho and prodded the ball past Mark Travers in the 87th minute, sealing a hard-fought victory for the Blues.
