Substitution Bruno Guimaraes sealed the win with his first goal at the Emirates since moving to Arsenal. Chelsea's Jordan Henderson opened the scoring in the 68th minute, followed by Morgan Rogers and Joao Pedro in quick succession.
Evanilson scored for Bournemouth, but Chelsea maintained their lead through Joao Pedro and a second goal from Joao Pedro in the 67th minute. With this impressive run, Chelsea sit at the top of the Premier League table.
