'We need to react': How Cherries have remarkably turned fortunes around since Chelsea humbling

Five wins on the spin, 14 goals scored, zero conceded.

Any run like that, given the calibre of opponents – particularly Champions League opposition in Manchester United and Aston Villa, as well as European giants AC Milan – is mightily impressive.

To do so on the back of such a humbling loss at Chelsea is nothing short of remarkable.
