We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's Premier League game between Bournemouth and Chelsea.

Here are some of your comments:

Bournemouth fans:

Charl: A very good performance from the whole team. Bournemouth played with confidence from back to front. Evanilson needs time, as did Solanke - but don’t tell us he played well when he was dreadful. Our subs were disappointing, especially Scott - I expect a lot more from him. Keep Travers in and build the team with him in goal. Unlucky Cherries.

Malcolm: Good performance. Thought we were decent for most of game but could/should have done better on the finishing. Kluivert should have taken the pen. Tired a bit at the end, which is when Chelsea struck.

Fin: Thought we played well, Evanilson looked good other than the penalty miss, which is promising. We were unfortunate to concede so late. After such a good start to the season I think fans can’t complain and, with this squad, we should be in for a good season.

Chelsea fans:

Pete: The first half was dreadful - same old, same old. The second was a bit better; Sancho added some spark, was direct and showed good skills. I thought Vega was decent. The defence doesn't inspire confidence. Against more heavyweight opposition I can't see us keeping any clean sheets.

Matthew: Chelsea were outplayed for most of the game. Poor control of the ball, poor focusing, generally poor passing. Sanchez made no mistakes, which is a first and won us the game. Brief moments of cohesion between the Chelsea players. Bournemouth were a tough team to play. Constant pressing and didn't allow us to settle. They were unlucky to lose.

Nick: A lucky win but credit to Sanchez, who played his best game for Chelsea, and to Sancho and Nkunku for turning the game around. But 14 bookings in a game where there were no bad tackles? I was too scared to shout at the screen in case the ref booked me for dissent.
