Bournemouth 1-1 Chelsea LIVE! Vina goal – Premier League match stream, latest score updates today
After six successive defeats under Frank Lampard, Chelsea travel to the south coast in danger of their embarrassing season plummeting to new depths. A seventh straight loss would equal an unwanted club-record set in 1952 and matched in 1961.
Chelsea remain confident of concluding a deal for Mauricio Pochettino to become their next permanent head coach but Lampard will remain in charge for the rest of the season. If he has been watching them on television from afar, Mauricio Pochettino will have been alarmed by just how bad things have got for Chelsea.
Travelling fans will expect some sort of response from the players after they were torn apart by Arsenal at Emirates Stadium on Wednesday but, in truth, in-form Bournemouth come in as favourites. The Cherries are all-but safe after back-to-back wins and can move above Chelsea in the Premier League with victory today. With kick-off at 3pm BST, follow all the action from the Vitality.

That’s a phenomenal equaliser from Bournemouth, superbly bent into the top corner by Vina. Chelsea have certainly been the better side, but Bournemouth have shown in recent weeks just how potent they can be on the break. There was that rampancy for all to see once more.
GOAL! Bournemouth 1-1 Chelsea | Matias Vina 21’
Another setback for Chelsea and a lovely goal from Bournemouth!
They cut Chelsea open with a brilliant move that ends with Vina curling shot into the far top corner.
17 mins: Bournemouth have come from behind to win four Premier Leaue games this season and are still playing with confidence. They win a corner but the whistle goes for a foul on Kepa.
15 mins: Madueke has been really bright for Chelsea so far. More good play from him, as Vina goes on a driving run but he marks him well as the ball runs out of play.
14 mins: Mudryk goes down the right and is sent tumbling by Smith inside the area… but the Chelsea man is booked for diving.

Madueke heavily involved, before Kante’s cross put it on a plate for Gallagher. Just about deserved, in the early stages.
GOAL! Bournemouth 0-1 Chelsea | Conor Gallagher 9’
Some relief for Frank Lampard. Kante crosses from the right and Gallagher drifts inbetween defenders to head past Neto.
“We scored a goal,” chant the Chelsea fans!
7 mins: Shot from Madueke! Bournemouth get in a mess and give the ball away in a dangerous area and Madueke forces Neto into a save. It’s been an open start to the game, with chances at both ends.
6 mins: A worrying moment for Chelsea as Badiashile goes down. He needs some treatment but he will be OK to continue.
4 mins: Just wide from Lerma! Bournemouth on top early on. Chalobah slips and Lerma is not far away with an effort from range.
