Whilst they may not win the Premier League, a top four finish did not look out the question prior to this match. But, Bournemouth played very well at Stamford Bridge. Artur Boruc made some key saves and once again Chelsea looked toothless up front and social media went nuts. Mind you,  Bournemouth is just coming from the championship. See the funny tweets after the jump... lol!..
