Christopher Nkunku netted a late goal to help Chelsea snatch a 1-0 away victory over Bournemouth in a Premier League clash on Saturday.

The Blues picked up the win despite a dominant attacking display from Bournemouth, who did not make the most of having the bulk of their chances.

Bournemouth’s Evanilson had earlier missed an excellent chance to score as his first-half penalty got parried away by Robert Sanchez.
