Bournemouth and Chelsea could not be separated in the first 45 minutes. The Blues took control of things and started finding Cole Palmer inside the Cherries box after Antoine Semenyo's opening goal was disallowed by VAR.

A first goal for Xavi Simons in Tottenham Hotspur colours. Very good finish by the young Dutchman. He hits it precisely into the lower left corner from the penalty area. What an occasion to score your first goal - London derby. Simons couldn't have asked for more.
Newcastle United have broken the deadlock at the St. James' Park, putting Burnley's resistance to an end and it's their skipper Bruno Guimaraes who draws first blood.
He scores his 5th goal of the season with a clinical finish to the right inside of the frame and Martin Dubravka is just a spectator.
Josko Gvardiola heaves into Phil Foden's delicious looping cross from a corner kick and Sunderland keeper Robin Roefs has no chance. Brilliant set-piece display by the hosts, who double their lead within 3 minutes.
It's City's backline that does the trick in the opening 30 minutes or so.
We knew it wasn't going to take City much long to break the deadlock. Ruben Dias struck the ball hard after receiving the ball from the innovative Rayan Cherki. Dias' piledriver goes straight into the goal with a slight deflection off a Sunderland defender, but that doesn't matter.
Spurs fans get in. It's their Brazilian number 9 Richarlison, who puts the North Londoners up front in the London derby.
A well worked move by them sees Xavi Simons send a cross to the path of the Brazil international, whose right-foot brings worries to the Brentford dug out.
This fixture is quite an emotional one for Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola, whose first game in charge of the club was against Sunderland. 9 years later, his side welcomes the Black Cats again. The scoreline was 2-1 in favour of the Cityzens in that fixture.
Phil Foden makes a late run to receive Jeremy Doku's pass inside the box, but the latter misses out narrowly to put the Cityzens ahead of the Black Cats, who were unlucky to see Enzo Le Fee's long-range shot crash the side netting.
Thomas Frank's Tottenham Hotspur have started the London derby positively against his former side Brentford. The best thing for them is that Xavi Simons is looking good in the opening minutes.
Antoine Semenyo's opening goal has been disallowed as VAR confirms that the Ghanian was a fraction off-side. But in these opening few minutes, Bournemouth are off to a flying start.
Marcus Tavernier drilled one shot towards Robert Sanchez, who gave it away to Bournemouth's Justin Kluivert who gets fouled by Reece James inside the box before the flag went up. Poor start from Enzo Maresca's side.
Not the start Sean Dyche was looking for against his former side Everton, who have taken the lead rightaway through Forest center-back Nikola Milenkovic's own goal in the 2nd minute.
