Chelsea captain Reece James spared the Blues' blushes by netting a last-gasp free kick that pinched a point in a 2-2 stalemate with AFC Bournemouth on Tuesday evening.

You can forgive Chelsea's Reece James for celebrating his 95th minute equaliser against Bournemouth in midweek more than most. His recurring hamstring issues kept him out for 11 games at the beginning of the season, and after a return on October 14th, he was back in the treatment room once again by November 19th.

It’s a clear disallowed goal. There is someone in the VAR who only has to check this' 😮 Have Chelsea got away with one here? 😳

Chelsea salvaged a 2-2 draw at home to Bournemouth thanks to Reece James’ free kick in the fifth minute of stoppage time but saw its winless run in the league extend to five games

A late free-kick from Chelsea captain Reece James salvaged a point for the Blues in a dramatic 2-2 draw against AFC Bournemouth. The visitors looked set to snatch all three points, but James’ moment of brilliance deep into stoppage time spared Chelsea’s blushes at Stamford Bridge.

We urgently need a win, otherwise, we could face a full-blown crisis. Astonishingly, we haven’t won a Premier League match in January and cannot afford any further slip-ups. Chalobah has been recalled, and I hope he can be integrated into the lineup alongside Colwill. I would also advocate for Fernandez to be dropped in favour of Lavia, who should partner with Caicedo. Maresca must avoid repeating the mistakes he demonstrated against Bournemouth and should utilize Caicedo in his best position. Additionally, I believe Reece James should be brought in as a right-back. I’m concerned about our right wing, as Maresca’s management has adversely impacted Madueke’s confidence. Criticizing him publicly was counterproductive. I hope Maresca opts for a 4-4-2 formation, placing Nkunku next to Jackson, with Palmer playing behind them.

Enzo Maresca is trying to get his team back on track after five games without a win, but revealed how four players are currently 'doubts' for their next Premier League clash at home.
