"Cole Palmer's return from injury failed to inspire Chelsea to victory at Bournemouth this afternoon. The England international started his first Premier League game since September 20 but remained largely on the fringes of a disappointing encounter. Both sides had chances - Bournemouth seeing an early Antoine Semenyo effort ruled out for offside while Alejandro Garnacho headed against the post in the second half."
"Bournemouth were offering a much greater attacking threat and Alex Jimenez was next to try his luck with two efforts, the first blocked and the second flying wide of the upright. Palmer was a peripheral figure in the opening 20 minutes but he burst into life at the midway point of the first half, skipping past Scott before picking out Pedro Neto, whose cross was headed behind by Marc Cucurella."
Match ended 0-0 at the Vitality Stadium as Bournemouth and Chelsea failed to score. Cole Palmer returned from injury and made his first Premier League start since September 20 but remained peripheral for much of the game. Bournemouth offered greater attacking threat with Antoine Semenyo, Alex Jimenez and Pedro Neto producing chances and Marcus Tavernier testing Chelsea after the break. Evanilson had a goal ruled out for offside by VAR. Robert Sanchez produced important saves and atoned for earlier errors. Liam Delap left with a shoulder problem after a blocked effort. Alejandro Garnacho hit the post for Chelsea.
