Chelsea 0-1 Bournemouth: Jose Mourinho's men are beaten at Stamford Bridge AGAIN after Glenn Murray's late winner... as Blues are left three points above Premier League's relegation zone
Diego Costa started on the bench as Jose Mourinho dropped the striker from the starting line-up
Boos rang around Stamford Bridge at half time with the game at 0-0 and Bournemouth threatening
Costa was brought on by Mourinho for the second half, replacing Oscar as Chelsea chased the opener
Glenn Murray scored the winner for Bournemouth in the 82nd minute to condemn Chelsea to defeat
It leaves Chelsea with only 15 points this season and three points above the relegation zone
Chelsea's season was meandering on towards mediocrity at Stamford Bridge when it was suddenly tossed on to the rapids again. Labouring towards a goalless draw against lowly, injury-ravaged Bournemouth, Chelsea were sunk by a late winner from the visitors' substitute Glenn Murray. It was his first touch.
Boos rang around the ground again when the final whistle confirmed another Chelsea defeat in this season that has been startling for its ordinariness. The idea that Jose Mourinho's job might be under pressure has been banished for a while but this reverse put it back on the agenda.
Chelsea are now 14 points behind Manchester United, who occupy fourth place in the Premier League, and even though none of the top teams are showing much appetite for the title chase, it is looking increasingly unlikely that Chelsea will qualify for the Champions League next season.
