Reece James’ late free-kick meant that Chelsea avoided defeat against Bournemouth but it was still an underwhelming result.
The Blues should have scored at least three goals in the first 45 minutes and effectively put the game to bed.
Instead, goals from Justin Kluivert and Antoine Semenyo put the visitors in front and Enzo Maresca’s side nearly left Stamford Bridge with nothing.
One Chelsea star had a particularly up-and-down game and the result could have gone either way if he was not playing.

Chelsea fans share thoughts on Nicolas Jackson vs Bournemouth
Some of Nicolas Jackson’s play against Bournemouth was exceptional. His assist for Cole Palmer’s opening goal is as good as you will see in the Premier League this season.
However, Jackson should have scored at least once himself – the game would have been very different if he had finished more clinically.
Several Blues fans have taken to X to share their thoughts on the striker’s performance and it’s faith to say that they’re not all on the same page.
One wrote: “People will glaze Jackson for 1 decent pass when his finishing has cost us at least 9 points in the last few games. Sign a striker, don’t care how much it costs.”
Another added: “Was instrumental for Cole Palmer’s goal. Few moments later he can’t convert a tap-in. This has been the story of Nicolas Jackson’s Chelsea career.”
“I don’t think there has ever been a game that shows how much Jackson adds to this side whilst also showing why we need a new number 9. Would be one of the best backup strikers in the world,” one Chelsea fan Tweeted.
“Find another striker in the Premier League that can do what Jackson does? Mission impossible,” a supporter said.
“Jackson has been Chelsea’s most dangerous player in the build-up, his long-range effort was sensational but his close-range attempts have been a combination of adequate to poor,” another posted.
One Blues fan commented: “If Jackson could finish like a normal No.9, we would have one of the best 9s in the world, but he can’t.”

Do Chelsea need to replace Nicolas Jackson?
Nicolas Jackson is far from the best finisher in world football but few strikers are more complete than the 23-year-old.
He was unplayable at times against Bournemouth, showcasing hold-up play reminiscent of Didier Drogba for Palmer’s goal.
Of course, he needs to become more clinical if he is to have even half the career at Stamford Bridge as Drogba but Chelsea would find it difficult to find someone better in the transfer market.
