Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola, speaking to TNT Sports: "It's difficult to value. When you consider how Chelsea played and we played, I don't think we deserved to win. Cucurella is touching Semenyo and they scored. It should be changed. What do you have to check? I don't think we were better than Chelsea."

On David Brooks challenge: "It was not violent. he just tries to grab him. It is not something violent. I don't understand why VAR gets involved in these things. I don't understand a lot of things from the referee today.

"I think first half they were playing like they were Chelsea and they were much better than us. We cannot play as slow as we were playing. I'm disappointed with the first half because we haven't seen the team we've been all season.

"Justin Kluivert is a strange one because with 25 players available he probably would have started. I wanted to have someone who could have improved from the bench.

"We have to analyse. Every game is different Chelsea are a very good team. I am happy for the players who have played in that number nine position."

Bournemouth are having a superb season and a draw at Chelsea, as frustrating as it may feel in the circumstances, extended their club record Premier League unbeaten run to nine matches.

Andoni Iraola's side are firmly in the hunt for a European place and were seconds away from moving up to fifth and level on points with their opponents.

The visitors even had opportunities to extend their 2-1 lead late on, before Reece James levelled up. Lewis Cook had a shot from a corner routine saved and defender Tosin Adarabioyo did well to block when Justin Kluivert had a chance.

That said, Bournemouth rode their luck at times and, on another day they could have been reduced to 10 men.

David Brooks caught Marc Cucurella's face with his arm as the Chelsea full-back tried to run past him and, although the move was not initially spotted, the Bournemouth man might have been sent off after the VAR intervention.

During the game, the Premier League Match Centre account clarified on X that referee Rob Jones deemed Brooks' foul a "reckless action" and "not violent conduct".

Bournemouth extend their longest unbeaten run in the Premier League to nine matches (W5 D4).

The Cherries last had a longer run in any tier in October 2021 (a run of 15 in the Championship).

Bournemouth goalscorer Antoine Semenyo, speaking to TNT Sports: "Ryan Christie got the ball and it was a shift and shoot. I knew what I was going to do. The execution was right and it went in the net.

"Take the point and we move on to the next game. It's all we can do.

"We got in and the manager wasn't happy. Livened us up really. We needed the intensity and to get the press right. That's how we've got our points this season, by showing our resilience. We just need to keep going as a team."

On David Brooks' potential red card: "I didn't even see it so I don't know what happened. We saw the VAR come up and obviously, we were all worried when that happened."

The furthest Bournemouth have reached in the FA Cup has been the quarter-finals in the 2020-2021 season. However it was a run that Cherries fans never got to experience given it was during the Covid campaign.

Other than that, there have been numerous times that we have graced the last 16, so after the weekend win, fans are now pondering whether Andoni Iraola's charges might look to go further than ever before.

A comprehensive 5-1 win over West Brom set Bournemouth up for a fourth-round trip to Everton, a side they have already done the double over this season. Easily dispatching Championship opponents in the third round may not seem that significant to most, but in the past three seasons the Cherries have gone out to lower league sides, so a swing in fortunes is certainly a good place to start this time around.

Despite something of an injury crisis, the club are sat comfortably in the top half of the Premier League table and, although Europe may be a dream for many fans, it still feels incredibly unlikely. So that being said, could a cup run be on the agenda?

The club are in a rare place of being all but mathematically safe in terms of relegation, so therefore it may be the first time in a while that Bournemouth can have a proper crack at some cup glory.

It will be a big ask, but with Premier League rivals Arsenal, Brentford and West Ham already exiting the competition, it may genuinely be an aim for which the club could strive.

We know the draw has to be kind, but ultimately, defying the odds is what Bournemouth do - so could we?

This is going to be another close game. Chelsea really need to win it, after going four league games without a win.

It feels like the busy festive period has taken its toll on their young squad but they are not just going to give up on their title hopes, no matter how slim they are.

Bournemouth, who have gone eight league games unbeaten, are in much better form and I feel like I have doubted them too often when I have made my predictions this season.

The Cherries always create chances and score goals. I don't think that will change much even with Evanilson and Enes Unal both out injured, but will they be quite as ruthless? I am not sure - but that could just be me being too cautious about backing them, again.

The other part of my thinking here is that Chelsea are going to return to winning ways at some point. They are at home, and they should have beaten Crystal Palace in their last league game, so they could click again here.

I just know that whichever way I go with this game, I am going to get it wrong. I suppose the safe bet is a draw, but I am not very confident about it.

Sutton's prediction: 1-1

Max Aarons' loan move to Valencia for the remainder of the season has now been confirmed by Bournemouth.

Aarons joined the Cherries from Norwich in the summer of 2023 and made 20 Premier League appearances as Andoni Iraola's side finished 12th on a club-record top-flight points total of 48.

However, the 25-year-old has struggled for game time this season, starting just one league game and making two other substitute appearances.

Iraola said in his earlier news conference that Aarons, "wasn't playing the minutes he wanted" at Bournemouth and "the opportunity that has arrived for him is amazing".

"I hope he does very well because he deserves it," the Spanish manager added.

Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola has been speaking to the media before Tuesday's Premier League game against Chelsea (kick-off 19:30 GMT).

Here are the key lines from his news conference:

• Iraola confirmed the club's intention to sign a new striker following the injuries to Enes Unal and Evanilson: "Everyone in the club is trying to sign a striker. This week we lost Enes and Evanilson. It's not going to be one or two days and then a striker signs - they're very valuable."

• He continued: "I understand clubs don't want to lose strikers half way through the season - we need a striker with the level to start and play Premier League games, it's not going to be easy but everyone in the club is working on this."

• He confirmed Max Aarons is set to join Valencia: "We've thought the best for him, if he wasn't playing the minutes he wanted here. The opportunity that has arrived for him is amazing, Valencia is a big club and I hope he does well there."

• He also praised Aarons' attitude: "His behaviour is very good, the other day knowing that it was almost a done agreement we asked him to play 45 minutes and he played very well and gave us everything - I hope he does very well because he deserves it."

• Marcus Tavernier, Marcos Senesi, Julian Araujo, Alex Scott, Adam Smith and Luis Sinisterra all remain out with injuries and Kepa Arrizabalaga is ineligible to play against his parent club on Tuesday.

• Ryan Christie is available again after missing the victory against West Brom with illness.

• Iraola does believe the club can cope without a striker for now, and the club try many different options in training, He said: "During games we can swap positions more confidently, all the wingers we have can play as a 10 and as a nine - we have the tools to make the right calls."

• On Daniel Jebbison, who has returned from loan, Iraola said: "Hopefully he gets to speed quickly because we will definitely need him - we are asking him to change things that he was probably doing at Watford. He has come with the spirit of solving everything quickly - I hope he is able to do it."

• On Chelsea: "They are having a fantastic season, they are using the depth of their squad, they are changing their starting 11s and everyone is playing a lot and they're a lot more familiar with their roles. They are doing very well."

We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's FA Cup game between Bournemouth and West Brom.

Here are some of your comments:

Charl: A masterstroke handing the captaincy to David Brooks. He was exceptional and controlled the midfield - everything went through him. Tyler Adams put in another sterling performance - he's a very good signing. The young Julio Soler looked as if he'd been here all season: comfortable in possession and a good all-round awareness.

Jonathan: Five goals with no striker, impressive. Despite losing both strikers within a few days of each other, there seems to be no sense of panic. West Brom could have been a potential upset, but the team have shown again why they're not to be underestimated this season.

Wing: Brilliant display from the Cherries, who had to play a number of reserves throughout. After a shaky start, we were totally dominant once we got the equaliser. We could have scored plenty more in the second half for an even more emphatic victory against a strong Championship side going for promotion. Hopefully, we will have a great cup run this season!

Tom: Wow! What a game. Missing strikers? What we saw here was amazing and hugely reassuring. Let's go with what we have.

Pete: Impressive display, with the amount of injuries Bournemouth currently have. Dango Ouattara played in his third position of the season and got two goals. It was also great to see Daniel Jebbison score after his loan at Watford.

The draw for the FA Cup fourth round has been made. Here is a list of all the ties involving Premier League teams in the order they were drawn.

Games will be played over the weekend of 8 February.

BBC Sport football expert Chris Sutton has made his predictions for all 32 FA Cup third round games and given his verdict on who will make it into round four.

For this week's matches he is up against actor and musician Billy Bob Thornton, who is a Liverpool fan.

Sutton's prediction: 2-0

The injuries to Evanilson and Enes Unal this week are a blow for Bournemouth but, even without them, they are still dangerous going forward.

The Cherries are another club like Fulham and Brentford, where I look at them and hope they throw a lot at the FA Cup this season.

I said the same last year, when Bournemouth reached the last 16 for only the sixth time since they were founded in 1899, and lost to Leicester.

The furthest they have got is the quarter-finals, in 1957 and 2021, and they have never won a major trophy, so if you're a fan then you want them to have a real crack at it now they are doing so well in the Premier League.

So this should be the start of a cup run for Andoni Iraola's side, even if he makes a few changes.

I don't think Albion will be pushovers, but they are still managerless at the moment and Bournemouth should be too strong for them at home.

Billy's prediction: 3-1
