Bournemouth adds to Chelsea's misery
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 07 - 12 - 2015

Chelsea's season went from bad to worse when the reigning Premier League champion lost 1-0 at home to Bournemouth Saturday to leave it just three points above the bottom three.
Jose Mourinho's side produced another disjointed display and was stunned in the 82nd minute when substitute Glenn Murray, who had only been on the field for two minutes, headed home after a goalmouth scramble.
Chelsea's eighth defeat in 15 Premier League matches since the start of the season left it in 14th place, 14 points behind fourth-placed Manchester United.
Bournemouth moved out of the bottom three.
Chelsea had been unbeaten in its past 43 home league games against newly-promoted teams, winning 37.
But Bournemouth, enjoying its first taste of top-flight football after a rapid rise from obscurity, was always in with a chance as Chelsea pushed hard for a winner.
Mourinho again left Diego Costa on the bench, but even when the Spain striker did come on for the second half, replacing Oscar, the Blues could not find a way through and failed to score at home in the league for the first time since May 2014.
Valencia holds Barca
In Madrid, New Valencia coach Gary Neville watched on from the stands as Santi Mina's late equalizer handed his side a shock 1-1 draw at home to European champion Barcelona.
Luis Suarez had put the visitors into a controversial lead as he appeared to be offside before slotting in at the near post, but Valencia's work rate was rewarded when Mina fired into the top corner five minutes from time.
Real Madrid is now just four points behind Barca as it bounced back from its embarrassing elimination from the Copa del Rey for fielding an ineligible player in midweek with Karim Benzema, Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo all on target in their 4-1 thrashing of Getafe.
However, Real remains third, two points behind Atletico Madrid, after Diego Godin and Antoine Griezmann handed Diego Simeone's men a 2-0 win at Granada.
Inter claims top spot
Inter Milan's Adem Ljajic scored a second-half goal to secure a 1-0 home win over Genoa and provisional top spot in Serie A Saturday, while AS Roma lost ground after conceding a last-minute penalty in a 1-1 draw at Torino.
Inter has 33 points from 15 games but will again be a point behind Napoli if the latter wins at Bologna. Genoa is 15th on 16 points.
Angers blank Lyon
Lyon bid a disappointing farewell to its famous stadium as it lost 2-0 to Angers in its last Ligue 1 match at the Stade Gerland on Saturday.
More than a100 former Lyon players were present at the Stade Gerland — which has been Lyon's home since the club was founded in 1950. Lyon slipped to fifth after Monaco won 2-1 at Bastia, thanks to a double from Lacina Traore.
Angers moved second, 15 points behind runaway leader Paris Saint-Germain and a point above Caen, which lost 2-1 against struggling Lille.
Bastia slipped into the bottom three, below safety on goal difference. It is three points above Toulouse, which lost 3-2 at home to Lorient. Bottom club Troyes picked up its second point in nine matches with a 1-1 draw at Reims, but is nevertheless 12 points from safety.
Ajaccio drew 1-1 with Nantes. — Agencies
