Comments:

League position: 4th Chelsea had won seven of their preceding eight home games in the Premier League and only conceded one goal in their preceding seven home games in the competition. The Blues lost by a three goal margin in a Premier League game at Stamford Bridge for only the seventh time. At 17 years and 84 days, Callum Hudson-Odoi became the second-youngest player to appear for Chelsea in the Premier League after Jody Morris (17 years and 43 days versus Middlesbrough on 4 February 1996).

Comments:

League position: 10th AFC Bournemouth were now unbeaten in their six Premier League games since Christmas. This was the first time that the Cherries had scored three goals in an away game in the Premier League against one of the top six opponents. They had now beaten the reigning Premier League champions in each of the last three seasons (also 1-0 at Chelsea in 2015-16 and 1-0 at home versus Leicester City in 2016-17).
