Match Summary
Two assists from Semenyo's long throw-ins led to strikes by Brooks and Kluivert.
Chelsea's goals came from Palmer and Fernandez during a chaotic opening 45 minutes.
Enzo Fernandez missed the best opportunity of a goalless second period.
In the midst of advanced transfer talks, Bournemouth's Antoine Semenyo delivered a mixed performance, setting up two goals and giving away a spot-kick in a thrilling draw with Chelsea.
Despite being on the verge of a lucrative switch, the 25-year-old attacker started for his club. His distinctive long throw-ins proved a potent weapon, leading to goals for teammates David Brooks and Justin Kluivert.
The deadlock was broken early when Semenyo's first long throw caused havoc, allowing Brooks to score from close range in the sixth minute.
Chelsea responded and then took the lead after Semenyo fouled Estevao Willian inside the penalty area. The match official awarded a penalty after a review by the Video Assistant Referee system.
Palmer calmly dispatched the penalty, placing it perfectly into the corner even though the keeper dove the right way. Fernandez made it 2-1 with a stunning strike into the top corner midway through the first half.
Kluivert leveled the scores again shortly after, tapping home from another precise long throw delivered by Semenyo.
The visitors finished the first period on top, forcing Sanchez into several saves from their 14 first-half efforts.
The home side's boss reshuffled his team at the break, bringing on James and Neto for Acheampong and Garnacho.
Early in the second half, a handball appeal against Malo Gusto was dismissed by the VAR official. Former Chelsea goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic then produced an excellent save to deny Estevao from distance.
Fernandez had the clearest opportunity to win it late on, but he skied his effort from a promising position inside the penalty area.
Palmer's withdrawal for Pedro was greeted by boos from a section of the home crowd as the manager's side sought control. Despite growing dominance in the latter stages, Chelsea could not find a decisive late goal.
In injury time, Bournemouth substitute Enes Unal volleyed over from 12 yards out after a cross from Amine Adli.
The result means Chelsea have managed just one victory in their last seven league outings. For Bournemouth, the point does little to improve their own form, as they remain without a win in ten games.
