CHERRIES fell to a late defeat at the Vitality Stadium against Chelsea last night.
AFC Bournemouth's club-record signing Evanilson missed a first half penalty as a late Christopher Nkuku goal sealed all three points for the visitors.
It was a game which Cherries arguably had the better of, creating more chances, but they were unable to find the back of the net and it came back to haunt them.
Nkuku struck just four minutes from time to break the hosts' hearts at the death.
Photographer Richard Crease was there to capture all the action.
