Messi winner gets Argentina under way in World Cup qualifying
Football
Ben Chilwell took in insults from frustrated Chelsea fans on the away end as the Blues played out a 0-0 draw against Bournemouth.
In a very forgettable game, Chelsea lacked the cutting edge despite having the better chances, as Nicolas Jackson and Raheem Sterling both hit the woodwork.
Cole Palmer also had a chance to win the game late on, but his shot was fired straight at Bournemouth goalkeeper Neto.
The home side also had half chances, with Dominic Solanke testing Robert Sanchez with an effort, then seeing another header go wide.

For Chelsea, it was yet another frustrating performance under Mauricio Pochettino, as the result means they lie in 14th place, a spot below Manchester United, who are experiencing their own problems, as per PremierLeague.com.
At full time, full-back Ben Chilwell attempted to issue an apology to fans as he was seen walking up to the away end with his hands raised, but the irate Chelsea faithful was having none of it.
In a video doing rounds online, the fans can be heard yelling expletives at Chilwell, who eventually gives up and turns back to the rest of the squad.
To some extent, one can understand the fans’ frustration as Chelsea, despite their heavy investment in the summer, are yet to get off the mark.
