Chelsea’s Reece James marked his Premier League return from injury with a stoppage-time equaliser to salvage a draw against Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge.
Cole Palmer opened the scoring for the Blues in the 13th minute when he calmly found the net after wrong-footing Bournemouth keeper Mark Travers with a faked shot.
Despite Chelsea dominating the first half, the Cherries were gifted a way back into the match after the interval when Moises Caicedo got on the wrong side of Antoine Semenyo and fouled the Bournemouth forward in the penalty area.
Justin Kluivert made no mistake from the spot, beating Robert Sanchez to net his sixth penalty of the season.
Bournemouth then took the lead in the 68th minute through Semenyo’s fierce left-footed strike which flashed past Sanchez and went in off the left post, and they looked set for an excellent away win.
But Chelsea hit back in the fifth added minute when James struck a low free-kick through a crowd of players and into the right corner.
