We've just put four goals past Chelsea and kept a clean sheet! It's been an incredible evening at Vitality Stadium and the Cherries fans are loving it!

90'

A quickly taken free-kick by Jordon Ibe is headed in by Charlie Daniels for 4-0!

90'

We've been waiting a long time to see him in a Bournemouth shirt, and here he comes for his debut! Chris Mepham replaces Junior Stanislas!

90'

We're still hungry for more! Junior Stanislas plays a one-two with Joshua King before the former sees his shot go out for a corner. Nothing comes of the set-piece.

90'

Another fine performance from Ryan Fraser, as he's substituted by Charlie Daniels.

90'

It's not been Chelsea's day, and after Dan Gosling gives the ball away in midfield, Willian crashes a shot past the side netting. Five minutes of stoppage time have been added, allowing the Cherries fans in full voice to savour this moment!

87'

We're in cruise control, as Chelsea have had little to shout about in the second half. It looked like Dominic Solanke was getting ready to come on for his debut, but there have been very few stoppages so it's not going to go ahead.

3'+0'

80'

A cross from Eden Hazard causes danger. The ball comes off Steve Cook but Artur Boruc gets down low quick to keep the clean sheet intact!

77'

Mateo Kovacic makes way for Ruben Loftus-Cheek.

74'

Vitality Stadium is rocking and the fans are absolutely loving it! A fantastic ball from Nathaniel Clyne down the right wing reaches Junior Stanislas. He puts it on a plate for Joshua King who hits the back of the net again for 3-0! WOW!

72'

Adam Smith is judged to have committed a foul, but Andrew Surman sees yellow for kicking the ball away.

2'+0'

68'

A standing ovation for David Brooks, who is substituted as he appears to have picked up a minor injury. Jordon Ibe replaces him as we head into the final 20 minutes 2-0 up!

65'

Not a dream league debut for Gonzalo Higuain, who is replaced by Olivier Giroud as Chelsea make another change.

63'

COME ON! David Brooks intercepts a rare, misplaced David Luiz pass, before playing a one-two with Joshua King, composing himself, cutting onto his left foot, and finding the bottom right corner! There are shouts for offside from the Chelsea defenders, but the goal stands and we're 2-0 up! GET IN!

61'

Willian comes on to replace Pedro for the first substitution of the match.

58'

A well timed ball over the top of the Cherries defence from Pedro is received by N'Golo Kante, but a poor first touch lets him down and Artur Boruc smothers.

57'

It's going to be a long second half if we're holding on to a 1-0 lead for all of it! Not a bad position to be in against Chelsea though!

1'+0'

47'

What a great start to the second half! Ryan Fraser scoops the ball over the top to David Brooks, he pulls it back to Joshua King who hits it first time into the roof of the net. 1-0!

46'

It was a lively end to the first half, let's hope for more of the same!

We started the first half slowly but have grown into it late on! No finishing touches from either side yet, but you sense there could be goals in this game after the break.

44'

With the crowd behind them, Joshua King wins the ball deep in his own half, takes on two players and plays in Junior Stanislas whose first time strike is driven straight at Kepa. Great noise in the ground now as we've upped the ante just before half-time!

43'

The Cherries almost covered every blade of grass with a slick passing move from left to right and front to back! It culminated in a Nathaniel Clyne cross being caught comfortably by Kepa, but it got the crowd going!

38'

David Brooks wins the ball off Eden Hazard in Bournemouth's half and runs the length of the pitch before going for goal. At the other end, Cesar Azpilicueta cuts onto his left foot and curls a shot towards the far corner, but Boruc dives well to save. Still goalless!

34'

A short corner from Ryan Fraser goes to David Brooks, who returns it to Wee-man. The cross is then headed clear by Gonzalo Higuain, before Adam Smith lofts the ball back into the danger area to Steve Cook on the right. Cook crosses the ball to Joshua King, who heads it to Brooks, whose header is saved by Kepa Arrizabalaga!

29'

The away side are having all of the ball at the moment. David Luiz has been an instrumental playmaker, starting all of the moves from the back, while we've not been able to keep hold of the ball when we win it back. Still level though!

20'

The Cherries get their first sight of goal and it comes from the right wing. Junior Stanislas plays it inside to Andrew Surman, who works the ball onto his favoured left foot and strikes from distance, but his shot clears the bar!

11'

Eden Hazard shows off his excellent close control of the ball midway through the Cherries half, before having a go from distance. The shot doesn't have enough power or precision to trouble Boruc though!

Big save from our big Pole! A cross swung in from the right hand side is headed goal-wards by Mateo Kovacic. It's going in but Boruc stretches and parries it onto the crossbar!

Joshua King rockets a shot from distance, but it slams into the face of David Luiz who is down and receiving treatment.

The Cherries get us underway!
