Set-pieces undoing of Maresca's Blues again

CHELSEA were once again stung by long throw-ins as Antoine Semenyo had a big part to play in potentially his final bow for Bournemouth.

The Cherries took the lead at Stamford Bridge through David Brooks after a Semenyo launch caused chaos in the Blues’ box, though the visitors’ lead did not last too long.

Cole Palmer converted from the penalty spot, just eight minutes before Enzo Fernandez put the Blues ahead.

The frantic start to the match continued when another long throw caught the home side out.

Semenyo’s delivery came off Trevoh Chalobah and Justin Kluivert was on hand to tap in at the far post.

No team has conceded more goals from long throw-ins than the Blues - with four - in the Premier League.

Semenyo started for the Cherries despite increasing speculation that he is set to join Manchester City in the coming days.

Just seven minutes in and Semenyo played a huge role in the opening goal.
