LONDON, ‌Dec 30 : Bournemouth grabbed a point at stuttering Chelsea in the Premier League on Tuesday, forcing a 2-2 draw after a frantic first-half display.

It ‌took six minutes for ‌Bournemouth to shock Chelsea when David Brooks knocked in a shot that had ricocheted off home goalkeeper Robert Sanchez.

Cole Palmer equalised from ‍the spot in the 15th minute after a delayed VAR check for a foul in the box ​on Estevao ‌and Enzo Fernandez put Chelsea ahead with a sidestep and ​bullet shot eight minutes later.

Justin Kluivert ⁠brought Bournemouth back ‌level in the 27th, to ​grab a point, despite Chelsea exerting more control after the ‍break, adding to the London ⁠side's unenviable record of one win ​in seven league ‌games.
