📊 Key penalty stat prevails as Bournemouth pull level with Chelsea
European hopefuls Bournemouth have fought back to draw level against Premier League giants Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
After going down a goal thanks to an effort from Blues star man Cole Palmer, the Cherries have leveled proceedings in the capital via Dutch winger Justin Kluivert.
The former Ajax academy standout has made somewhat of a name for himself since his arrival on the south coast, proving ruthless from the penalty spot numerous times in 2024-25.
Bournemouth have won 7 penalties in the Premier League this season, more than any other team.
Chelsea have conceded 6 penalties in the Premier League this season, no team has conceded more.

His matching-tying goal came from familiar territory when he converted from 12 yards in what was a Premier League-leading 7th time that Andoni Iraola's men have won a penalty this season.
And perhaps that hardly comes as a surprise after a stat has surfaced revealing that Enzo Maresca's Blues have conceded a league-leading six penalties.
With plenty of time left in the capital, can Bournemouth upset the apple cart?
