3. Bournemouth Pull One Back

Just minutes after Hazard doubled the lead for the visitors, Tommy Elphick was able to pull one back for the Cherries. Bournemouth have been one of the most productive teams in the Premier League this year on scoring from set pieces, particularly corner kicks. Their eight goals from corners has them tied for fourth in the league, and they made Chelsea pay from a short corner routine.

The hosts caught Chelsea napping and played a quick ball, Elphick then got his head to the second ball, and utilized a somewhat fortuitous bounce to beat Asmir Begovic at his far post. The skipper looked delighted to get his first league goal and, at the time, give the hosts a chance to continue their momentum and grab another.
