In a thrilling Premier League match on 19 May 2024, Chelsea emerged victoriously at home with a 2-1 win over Bournemouth. While the match was closely contested, statistical evidence points towards significant factors contributing to Chelsea's win.

The first critical statistic to highlight in Chelsea's favor was their 'goals scored.' Chelsea got off to an early start, scoring their first goal just 16 minutes and 33 seconds into the first half. This psychological advantage seemed to impact Bournemouth's play, leading them to accumulate two yellow cards within just three minutes (27:08 and 29:55) in the first half. In contrast, Chelsea sustained their first yellow card delay, receiving it at the 27:37 mark - this, potentially pointing towards their better control and composure during the initial stages of the match.

The second half saw Chelsea's determination maintain with scoring right at the 47:45 mark. Bournemouth responded almost instantly with a goal at 49:14, but this was not enough to level the playing field. Both teams had an even distribution of yellow cards in the second half- Chelsea with one and Bournemouth with one, rendering it a non-impactful factor overall.

In terms of set-pieces, Chelsea had a slight advantage with 6 corner kicks against Bournemouth's 5. This slight edge might have contributed to their better goal scoring opportunities, even though it did not yield any direct goals.

Interestingly, Chelsea made no offsides in the match, indicating a disciplined attacking strategy, compared to Bournemouth's single offside marking a more aggressive but less organized forward play. Another parameter that reflects Bournemouth's high-pressure approach is the number of fouls committed. With a total of 10 fouls for Bournemouth against Chelsea's 5, it seems that Bournemouth's tactics may have been slightly more reckless.

Overall, the early goals, better control and composure indicated by fewer fouls and yellow cards, combined with a disciplined attacking strategy, were the significant statistical factors leading to Chelsea's win against Bournemouth. This match, thus, serves as an exemplary display of Chelsea's well-balanced and strategic gameplay doing justice to their Home advantage.
