Bournemouth 4-0 Chelsea: 5 Talking Points & Tactical Analysis | Premier League 2018-19

#3 Goals, goals and more goals sting Chelsea

A goal and an assist for David Brooks

Chelsea hadn't got going and rightfully, were punished for not converting their chances. Only in terms of possession, normal services were resumed as the Cherries sent them packing with three goals to follow after the opener.

The likes of Pedro and Kante threatened while going forward, but Bournemouth doubled and tripled their advantage, much to the frustration of Maurizio Sarri. David Luiz, who had been spraying passes and marshaling the defense all evening, displayed his inconsistent side with two ill-timed, reckless challenges.

The Brazilian dived into a challenge, lost out, dived into another challenge, lost out again, as King unselfishly pulled the ball back to Brooks, who scored his 6th league goal of the season.

Bournemouth then put the game to bed with a stunning goal in the 74th minute from King, who left Kepa stranded with a sublime finish. Once again, Chelsea were absent defensively.

Just before the final whistle, Charlie Daniels put the cherry on top of the cake with a fourth goal.
