    Chelsea 0-1 Bournemouth

    Let's leave the last word to Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe. 

    He said: "In my opinion, it's the biggest result in the club's history. The club has never been in the Premier League before so winning at the champions is a huge result for the club.

    "Hopefully it will be talked about for a long time to come and hopefully there are more moments like that ahead of us."

    For his sake, let's hope so. Good night.

  3. 'We are upset'published at 20:14 Greenwich Mean Time 5 December 2015

    Chelsea 0-1 Bournemouth

    Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois: "Of course we are upset. We have to regroup and show strength for Wednesday's game in the Champions League. We have the quality to get out of this situation." 

    It could have been a lot worse for Chelsea, had the big Belgian not made several good saves in the first half. An unhappy return for Courtois after three months out with a knee injury.

    Fair to say, the Bournemouth chairman's reasonably happy, too...

  5. What's next?published at 20:13 Greenwich Mean Time 5 December 2015

    Chelsea 0-1 Bournemouth

    So who do Bournemouth play next, I hear you say? Well it's Manchester United at the Vitality Stadium next Saturday. Onwards and upwards. 

    After their Champions League tie, Chelsea travel to face Premier League leaders Leicester, a week on Monday.

    Should be interesting.

    It says something about Chelsea's season that Bournemouth beating them at home only makes the match fourth on Match of the Day. 

    Another goalless draw at home for Manchester United makes them last. 

    The times, they are a changing.

    Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho: "Even in the last few minutes, we had two strikers on the pitch and not one got close to touching the cross.

    "It is really disappointing because the team was playing better and more confident and we did not expect to lose. But there is no time to be crying - in three days time we have an important game in the Champions League."

    Ah yes, the Champions League. Chelsea face Porto on Wednesday and need a point to progress to the knockout stages. 

    Winning the competition might be the only option of playing in it next year!

  10. Result not fair - Mourinhopublished at 19:58 Greenwich Mean Time 5 December 2015

    Chelsea 0-1 Bournemouth

    Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho speaking to BBC Sport: "The result is not fair. In the first half we were soft and did not press and were not aggressive and were not intense. In the second half everything changed. We were aggressive, created chances and had crosses and a clear penalty that the referee did not see. That is the game. In the moment when our opponent were thinking just about defending a clean sheet they cross the halfway line for the first time and scored.

    "If it was offside it is another episode that goes against us, but I did not see it."

  11. Offside? Who cares?published at 19:56 Greenwich Mean Time 5 December 2015

    Goalscorer Glenn Murray is asked what he thinks of Eddie Howe's previous comment. He replies: "I suppose it's right up there. The gaffer is the man in the know. It's a vital victory but more importantly it's a big three points."

    As for being offside for the goal, he says: "I didn't feel like I was but it doesn't matter now." 

    Well said. 

  12. get involved

    Yet again we hear fair weather Chelsea fans bleating. No substance in chequebook football. Perhaps they should give Mourinho the opportunity to prove how good a manager he is.

    Chelsea 0-1 Bournemouth

    More from Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe: "I don't think we have defended too badly [this season], it's just been individual mistakes and setbacks but the players have come in and worked hard for the next game and tried to improve themselves. It was really emotional in the dressing room afterwards so I'm so proud of them."   

  17. 'We answered the questions'published at 19:45 Greenwich Mean Time 5 December 2015

    Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe speaking to Sky Sports: "In the first half I thought it was quite even, in the second half we had to defend, I thought we were magnificent. There were question marks about our defending but we have answered those questions today."

  18. Champions League gone?published at 19:42 Greenwich Mean Time 5 December 2015

    Chelsea 0-1 Bournemouth

    So top six is now maybe the target for Jose Mourinho's Chelsea. For the record, Chelsea are now 14 points behind fourth-place Manchester United. 

    Can Chelsea kiss the Champions League goodbye? And what does that mean for our Jose? 

  19. 'Maybe top six is the target'published at 19:40 Greenwich Mean Time 5 December 2015

    More from Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho: "I am concerned of course. There is no chance that Chelsea will be fighting relegation. That is not the problem. It is that our objective is to finish top four. Before this game it was realistic to think that our quality would take us out of this position, but maybe now we have to think about top six.

    "If our players are not able to give the maximum every day that is a problem. If you analysis match after match there are a few layers where it is difficult to be consistent. You think there is evolution, but maybe it is just one moment in which they are good."

  20. 'Referee made a mistake for the goal'published at 19:38 Greenwich Mean Time 5 December 2015

    Chelsea 0-1 Bournemouth

    Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho speaking to Sky Sports: "We didn't deserve to lose. Our opponent - in the period that they thought only of defence - managed to get a goal and there was a clear mistake from the referee 

    "I think it is a clear handball and penalty with the score at 0-0. In the first half we were not aggressive enough, in the second half we arrived in dangerous positions a lot of time with a lot of crosses from the right hand side from Ivanovic.

    "They played in a way that some call intelligent, some say is not fair play. They were taking time, calling for the medical department and drinking water like it is basketball time out."
