Wing: Having taken the lead and been the better side for much of the second half, given the context of all the injuries we have, we are still disappointed with a draw at Chelsea. We really have come a long way as a great front-footed side, and it is a pleasure to be a Cherries fan right now come what may.

That song has become all too rare at Chelsea over the past two years, but James picked a captain’s moment to remind everyone why they sing it at Stamford Bridge. This was a game of two halves but the point of demarcation was not the half-time break — it was the 56th minute.

A stunning and unlikely Bournemouth turnaround was completed just under 20 minutes later when Semenyo ran at Chelsea youngster Josh Acheampong - making his first home league start at centre-back - and thundered past a helpless Sanchez after being played in by Christie to leave Stamford Bridge shocked.
