Cherries stem bad run of form against Chelsea

FOR now, it seems Chelsea’s supporters will have to endure the uncertainty of following a club that’s going through a major transitional spell — suffering defeat at the hands of Bournemouth on Saturday.

Bournemouth, a side who came into this match on a dreadful run of form, again exposed the defensive shortcomings of Frank Lampard’s Chelsea. For them, things need to improve fast.

Dan Gosling scored the decisive goal with six minutes of the match remaining, awarded by the video assistant referee after an inevitable delay in play. Initially ruled out for what appeared to be an offside, replays allowed the goal to be overturned.
