Bournemouth 0-1 Chelsea: Jadon Sancho sets up Christopher Nkunku for 86th-minute winner on his Blues debut as Cherries are made to pay for Evanilson penalty miss

Christopher Nkunku proved to be the super sub as he came off the bench to score the winner in Chelsea's 1-0 win over Bournemouth.

The French winger popped up in the 86th minute with the decisive strike after new recruit Jadon Sancho set him up to perfection.

Chelsea also had goalkeeper Robert Sanchez to thank after he went from zero to hero in the first half, gifting away a penalty only to save Evanilson's effort.
