James scores Last-Gasp Equaliser For Chelsea

CUD WontumiSports
Chelsea’s Reece James marked his Premier League return from injury with a stoppage-time equaliser to salvage a draw against Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge. Cole Palmer opened the scoring for Chelsea in the 13th minute when he calmly found the net after wrong-footing Bournemouth keeper Mark Travers with a faked shot. Despite Chelsea dominating the first half, the Cherries were gifted a way back into the match after the interval when Moises Caicedo got on the wrong side of Antoine Semenyo and fouled the Bournemouth forward in the penalty area. Justin Kluivert made no mistake from the spot, beating Robert Sanchez…

Chelsea have made an enquiry to sign Bayern Munich winger Mathys Tel amid interest from the German side in their forward Christopher Nkunku.

However, they have not offered Nkunku in a swap deal despite knowing that Bayern have had a longstanding interest in the 27-year-old France international, who joined Chelsea from German club RB Leipzig for £50m in 2023. It isn’t known how likely Chelsea’s approach is to succeed given Tel…

‘We Are Not Ready’ – But Are Chelsea Genuine Title Contenders?

wontumionlineSports
Enzo Maresca again played down talk of a Premier League title challenge after his Chelsea side recorded their seventh consecutive win in all competitions against Brentford on Sunday. But is it time to seriously consider Chelsea as genuine title contenders? The mere suggestion of such a turnaround in fortunes in the summer would have been met with incredulity but, after a stunning run of form, it really doesn’t seem so daft anymore. The Blues’ 2-1 win against Brentford on Sunday moved them into second place in the league and to within just two points of leaders Liverpool. In fact, Chelsea will be…

Maresca: Chelsea ‘Deserved Something More’ From Liverpool Loss

wontumionlineSports,
Enzo Maresca felt Chelsea “deserved something more” from their 2-1 defeat against Liverpool. The Blues suffered only their second Premier League defeat of the season, as Curtis Jones’ strike settled the contest at Anfield.

Nevertheless, Maresca believes his players can leave Anfield with their heads held high. “We don’t like to lose or drop points, but I really liked the performance,” he told Sky Sports. “We deserved something more, but the performance…
