You can read all about the match over here.
And follow all the reaction to Saturday's Premier League games here.
Thanks very much for joining me this afternoon.
FULL-TIME
Bournemouth 2-2 Chelsea
All over!
What a game. I'm not sure a point suits either side here in their respective battles, but that's what they must settle for.
A Marcos Alonso double saves Chelsea.
Post update

Hat-trick chance for Marcos Alonso!
Just wide!
The left-back has been such a threat for Chelsea and has frequently been their furthest forward player.
But he can't direct his header on target and Bournemouth survive. Just.

Five minutes added time!
'Alonso is world class'

Dion Dublin
Former Man Utd striker on Final Score
Ryan Fraser switches off and the keeper's doing it on his own, but Marcos Alonso is on the front foot all the time. He's a world-class full-back.

Can anyone grab a late winner here?
Bournemouth have come out to play after failing to see out their lead.
It's pretty open as we reach the closing stages!
GOAL - Bournemouth 2-2 Chelsea
Marcos Alonso
Marcos Alonso gets his second to bring Chelsea level!
Mason Mount draws a superb save from Aaron Ramsdale, but Alonso is the first to react and follows in to punish the watching Bournemouth defenders.
It had been coming!
Post update
Bournemouth 2-1 Chelsea
Mason Mount draws a good save from Aaron Ramsdale and Andreas Christensen can't convert the rebound.
It just won't hit the back of the net for Chelsea...
SUBSTITUTION
Bournemouth 2-1 Chelsea
Dan Gosling, who scored the winner in December when these two sides met, is on for Lewis Cook.
It's all-out defence for Bournemouth with 10 minutes remaining.
Post update
Bournemouth 2-1 Chelsea
It's all Chelsea at the minute. The pressure really is mounting.
Bournemouth are sitting deep. They look solid enough but can they hold out if this continues?
Post update
Bournemouth 2-1 Chelsea
Michy Batshuayi has the ball in the back of the net already!
But it's quickly dismissed for a clear offside.
That would have been some entrance...
Post update
Bournemouth 2-1 Chelsea
Olivier Giroud off.
Michy Batshuayi on.
Can he be the Blues hero?
Post update
Bournemouth 2-1 Chelsea
Callum Wilson knocks the ball past Andreas Christensen but the Chelsea defender hauls Wilson down.
He was a bit too far from goal for a red to be shown, but Christensen does receive a yellow for that.
SUBSTITUTION
Bournemouth 2-1 Chelsea
A first Bournemouth change sees Joshua King taken off for Junior Stanislas.
A first Premier League goal since November for King today. A long wait.
Post update
Bournemouth 2-1 Chelsea
Blimey, out of nowhere hail has just started to pelt the pitch.
We started this game in sunshine!
Similar to Chelsea's afternoon so far?
SUBSTITUTION
Bournemouth 2-1 Chelsea
Ross Barkley and Willian come on as Chelsea look to get back on track.
Fikayo Tomori and Jorginho are off.
CLOSE!
Bournemouth 2-1 Chelsea
Callum Wilson swivels on the spot to fire a shot at goal from Nathan Ake's knock-down, but Willy Caballero is there to stop it.
Not sure how much Caballero really knew about that, but he got the job done.
Post update
Bournemouth 2-1 Chelsea
Bournemouth have all the momentum right now. The stadium is buzzing.
Can Eddie Howe's side now see out a huge win?
Chelsea desperately need to get back on top of this, or Manchester United will have a shot at fourth spot against Everton tomorrow...
GOAL - Bournemouth 2-1 Chelsea
Josh King
What a turnaround!
Jack Stacey has been a real threat today and delivers a brilliant ball across the six yard box.
It evades the reach of Callum Wilson but Joshua King is there to tap in at the back post.
Two in three minutes for the Cherries.
GOAL - Bournemouth 1-1 Chelsea
Jefferson Lerma
Bournemouth hanging on very well it appears.
Ryan Fraser delivers the cross from the right and Jefferson Lerma, who had produced a great tackle in his own box just moments ago, is there to bring Bournemouth level.
Game on!
