Meanwhile in England: Premier League giants at their worst in decades

Jordan Henderson played a crucial role as he scored two goals, helping Chelsea secure a commanding 5-1 victory over Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge in the English Premier League. The Blues dominated the match from the start, with Henderson opening the scoring just two minutes in with a powerful right foot shot. Later, Morgan Rogers added to the lead with a well-placed shot, making it 2-0 for Chelsea.

Joao Pedro equalized for Bournemouth shortly after the restart, showcasing the team's resilience. However, Evanilson equalized again with an impressive goal following a rebound, bringing the score to 3-2 in Chelsea's favor. Pedro Neto then scored twice more, completing a hat-trick, and Henderson added the final goal from a direct free-kick, securing a crucial win for Xabi Alonso's team.

This victory marked Chelsea's first five-goal match in the Premier League since August 2025 and propelled them to fifth place in the league standings with 10 points after six matches.
