Nicolas Jackson and Raheem Sterling came close to scoring, but were thwarted by the woodwork and impressive goalkeeping by Neto.

Chelsea has managed to win just one of their last five matches and currently occupies 14th place in the Premier League standings.

Despite the significant summer signings by Chelsea owner Todd Boehly, the club's performance hasn't seen significant improvement from the previous season.

Nicolas Jackson, despite his high price tag, lacked a commanding presence upfront, and Enzo Fernandez, a £106 million midfielder, had an unremarkable performance and was eventually substituted.

Meanwhile, under the leadership of new boss Andoni Iraola, Bournemouth displayed a sturdy defense but struggled to find a cutting edge in the final third.

Former Chelsea player Dominic Solanke had an opportunity to score, but Chelsea's Robert Sanchez denied him.

Despite their substantial spending, Chelsea named six players on the bench who had never played for the club.

Mykhailo Mudryk, who was signed in January, had a decent performance on the left but failed to find the back of the net. Raheem Sterling's free-kick hit the crossbar.

However, Levi Colwill slotted in the rebound, but the goal was disallowed for offside by the referee.

Bournemouth also had their moments, with a Lewis Cook free-kick leading to Ryan Christie's low cross, finding Dango Ouattara, but Sanchez reacted quickly to limit the shot.

As the game progressed, Chelsea's frustration grew, and Bournemouth gained confidence, particularly after the introduction of substitute Justin Kluivert.
