Henderson scores twice as Chelsea thumb Bournemouth
Jordan Henderson scored his first Chelsea goals to help his new side to a dominant victory over Bournemouth.
Jordan Henderson scored twice as Chelsea secured a commanding victory over Bournemouth in their Premier League opener. The 36-year-old midfielder, making his home debut for the new-look Chelsea side, fired in the opening goal from a Cole Palmer assisted set-piece after just 68 seconds. Henderson added a second goal in the second half, demonstrating his continued impact on the team.
Joao Pedro also scored twice for Chelsea, while Morgan Rogers and Evanilson netted for Bournemouth. However, Evanilson's early goal was rescinded after a review of the incident by the video assistant referee. Bournemouth's new manager Marco Rose will be eager to improve his team's performance, as they remain winless in the Premier League this season and are only outside the relegation zone on goal difference.
