LATE NKUNKU GOAL GIVES CHELSEA VICTORY AT BOURNEMOUTH

Christopher Nkunku came off the bench to score and secure Chelsea a 1-0 win at Bournemouth - a result which looked unlikely for most of the chaotic, card-heavy match.

Nkunku was on the pitch for fewer than seven minutes when he struck late on, expertly turning away from three defenders to prod home, having been set up by fellow impressive substitute Jadon Sancho.

Bournemouth finished the game with 19 shots taken and twice struck the woodwork, most memorably Marcus Tavernier rattling the crossbar after just four minutes, but could not find a breakthrough.

Evanilson had their best chance, a penalty he won himself, but Robert Sanchez brilliantly denied the hosts' record signing.

The clean sheet is Chelsea's first in 18 away Premier League games and they climb to seventh on seven points, leapfrogging the Cherries. Bournemouth are 11th, two points worse off.
