John Brewin’s report has landed and with that I’ll sign off.
Thanks to everyone who contributed and thanks to the 14 players on the pitch who got booked, thereby making this a historic Premier League match.
It wasn’t always pretty but it was good fun. Both teams gave it a go. Ultimately a bit of quality from Chelsea, and some bad luck for Bournemouth, proved the difference.
Cheers all. Hope you have a great night.

Nkunku and Sancho – goal scorer and goal provider – are both on my screen for a little post-match chinwag:
Sancho: It was amazing to make my debut for Chelsea. Just being back playing, I’m grateful. I thought the team played really well. We dug in.
Nkunku: [The manager] said to me to create in the box. And I did. It was a good ball from Jadon. I had the space behind me. I had three defenders on me. I do the balloon for my son [well don’t I feel silly now].
Sancho: I’ve been working hard for this moment and I’m just happy I got my chance. I had a great end to last season. I just told myself going into this season to have a good start to the season. I just have to thank all the staff and my teammates.
Nkunku: We are in a big club with big players. There is competition for positions. We just have to work hard.
