Bournemouth 1-3 Chelsea
For the first time since Frank Lampard took over as interim manager, Chelsea won a game on Saturday. The errant club from London won the seventh game at AFC Bournemouth with Lampard on the bench. Hakim Ziyech had an important role as a substitute.
Partly thanks to Ziyech, Chelsea records the long-awaited first victory under Lampard
Chelsea has a terrible season that lasts four games after Saturday. Lampard was not yet able to get the blue ship into calmer waters, although the start at Bournemouth was good. In the ninth minute Conor Gallagher headed in the 0-1 from a cross from N’Golo Kanté.

The game then went on and Chelsea held on to the lead for less than fifteen minutes. Matias Viña decided to shoot after a smooth attack from Bournemouth. The Uruguayan curled the ball past keeper Kepa Arrizabalaga with feeling.
So Chelsea could start again. The London hunt for a new lead was extremely difficult, with Kepa also preventing a second goal from Viña. In the end, Chelsea struck in the final phase. Benoît Badiashile scored from a cross from Ziyech for 1-2. João Félix, who also came in, put an end to all doubts shortly afterwards by making it 1-3. For example, Chelsea won a Premier League game for the first time since March 11. So for Lampard it was only hit in game seven, after six defeats in a row.
Tottenham 1-0 Crystal Palace
Tottenham Hotspur won the league for the first time since April 8. After disappointing results that cost interim coach Christian Stellini his job, replacement Ryan Mason managed to lead Spurs to three points on Saturday. A striking header from Harry Kane in the extra time of the first half proved enough for the victory against Crystal Palace, which kept it exciting until the end. It was Kane’s 209th goal in the Premier League, passing Wayne Rooney in the all-time top goalscorer list.
Mason’s team rises to sixth place, although number seven Brighton & Hove Albion has played three games less. Tottenham currently has two points more than manager Roberto De Zerbi’s successful formation.
