At 15, the hosts open the scoring. Sterling received it down the right and crossed low for Havertz to complete with a tackle in the back of the net.
Chelsea’s second goal came on 23. The ball fell to Havertz inside the box, the German just fixing it for Mount who batted from the edge of the box and sent the net swinging.
In the 43rd minute the Londoners even put the ball on goal for the third time. The goal however was disallowed by a miss from Havertz away. Four minutes later, Sterling had another chance, but Travers stopped it.
Second time
In the second stage, 18 minutes into the game, Chelsea came close to scoring a third goal. Mason Mount advanced into the center of the box and struck hard but was stopped by a new defense from Travers.
At 27, the Londoners had another chance, this time with Koulibaly. The Senegalese defender receives a cross in the area, but sends it wide with his header.
Bournemouth had a chance to narrow the score to 33. Christie received him in the box down the right, advanced and struck hard, forcing Kepa to work.
At 38, Gallagher has almost caught up with Chelsea. The midfielder received into the box after a counter attack, cleared the marker and kicked, but ended up hitting another opponent.
