Jordan Henderson scored twice for Chelsea as they overwhelmed Bournemouth with a 4-1 victory. The 36-year-old midfielder, appearing in his home debut, netted first after just 68 seconds, with his effort hitting the post before adding a second after the break. Joao Pedro contributed with two goals, while Morgan Rogers scored a third.
Evanilson managed to pull one back, but Chelsea maintained their dominance to keep their winless streak in the Premier League under new manager Marco Rose to just one game. The team's early momentum was set in the second minute when Henderson scored from a Cole Palmer assist, striking the post after a well-placed shot. Just 84 seconds later, he set up Rogers, whose cross was headed over by Antonio Silva for the fourth goal of the season.
Despite Bournemouth's efforts to make a comeback, they were unable to find the back of the net, remaining winless in the Premier League under new management. The win for Chelsea moves them into the top five of the league table, while Bournemouth continue to struggle, only outside the relegation zone due to goal difference.
