Bournemouth 0-0 Chelsea: Sanchez's saves hand Blues 1 point as Jackson hits post
Chelsea failed to score for a second consecutive Premier League match as they were held to a goalless draw at Bournemouth.
Mauricio Pochettino's threadbare side, which featured six players on the bench who had not made a top-flight appearance, were unable to bounce back from their 1-0 defeat at home to Nottingham Forest and played out the first goalless draw of the season.
Nicolas Jackson hit a post in the first-half but Chelsea had Robert Sanchez to thank for making a fine save to deny Bournemouth's Dango Ouattara.
The visitors went even closer in the second half, seeing Raheem Sterling's free-kick come back off the cross bar and Levi Colwill's follow-up ruled out for offside to leave them languishing in the bottom half with five points from five games.
