Bournemouth holds Chelsea to another scoreless draw

Chelsea’s mixed-bag start to the Premier League continued as they played a 0-0 draw against Bournemouth and failed to score for the second successive PL match in a row.

- 

Mauricio Pochettino-managed Blues side featured six players who made their first-ever top-flight appearance.

But it made no difference as they could not bounce back from the 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forest at home previously. In the first half, Nicolas Jackson hit the post, but Chelsea had Robert Sanchez to thank for a wonderful stop on Bournemouth’s Dango Ouattara. The visitors came even closer in the second half, but Raheem Sterling’s free-kick hit the crossbar and Levi Colwill’s follow-up was ruled out for offside, leaving them in the bottom half with just five points from five games. Chelsea is in the 14th spot with a win, two losses and two draws, giving them a total of five points. Bournemouth is at 15th, drawing three and losing two in five matches. They have three points to their name.
