Bournemouth vs Chelsea LIVE!

Chelsea's much-vaunted attack failed to fire again as they were held to a 0-0 draw by Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium on Sunday, the second Premier League game in a row in which the Blues have failed to score. Nicolas Jackson hit the foot of the post in the 14th minute and Conor Gallagher wased a glorious opportunity just after the half-hour mark in an otherwise lacklustre first half.The Blues had the ball in the net early in the second half as Raheem Sterling struck the angle of post and crossbar with a free kick and Levi Colwill blasted home the rebound, but the goal was ruled out for offside. The introduction of Justin Kluivert as a second-half substitute gave Bournemouth a much-needed attacking edge and he was fouled on the edge of the area in the 76th minute, but Philip Billing's subsequent free kick was deflected wide for a corner.Chelsea almost got the winner five minutes from the end of normal time as Sterling picked out Cole Palmer, but Cherries keeper Neto made a brilliant one-handed reflex save to keep out the substitute's deft volley. Read the game back below with our dedicated match blog, featuring expert insight and analysis from Nizaar Kinsella at the Vitality Stadium.
