The forward completed the full game while his counterpart was withdrawn after the hour mark. At a Glance Two assists from Semenyo's long throw-ins led to strikes by Brooks and Kluivert. Cole Palmer and Enzo Fernandez found the net for Chelsea in a frantic first half. Enzo Fernandez missed the best opportunity of a goalless second period. Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo, reportedly close to a big-money transfer, was at the heart of the action, providing two assists and conceding a penalty in a dramatic 2-2 stalemate against Chelsea. The 25-year-old, who is in deep discussions over a potential multi-million pound move, nonetheless featured for his current side. His distinctive long throw-ins proved a potent weapon, leading to goals for teammates David Brooks and Justin Kluivert. The deadlock was broken early when Semenyo's first long throw caused havoc, allowing Brooks to score from close range in the sixth minute. Chelsea responded and then took the lead after Semenyo fouled Estevao Willian inside the penalty area. The match official awarded a penalty after a review by the Video Assistant Referee system. Cole Palmer stepped up and converted the penalty, finding the corner despite the goalkeeper guessing correctly. Fernandez made it 2-1 with a stunning strike into the top corner midway through the first half. Bournemouth hit back almost immediately, as another Semenyo long throw was turned in by Justin Kluivert from close range just four minutes later. The visitors finished the first period on top, forcing Sanchez into several saves from their 14 first-half efforts. The home side's boss reshuffled his team at the break, bringing on James and Neto for Acheampong and Garnacho. A potential handball incident involving Gusto was quickly reviewed and not given by the video officials.
