Comments:

League position: 15th AFC Bournemouth had now won three home games in the Premier League in this season; only bottom-of-the-table Aston Villa had won fewer. The Cherries failed to score for the first time in their last seven league and cup games.

Comments:

League position: 3rd Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's goal was his first in the Premier League since 27 September 2014 and his first-ever Premier League goal scored away from home. Petr Cech had now kept 12 clean sheets in the Premier League in this season; more than any other keeper.
