Henderson opened the scoring before Morgan Rogers doubled Chelsea’s lead a minute later to make it 2-nil at half-time.

Joao Pedro made it 3-nil in the second half, scoring in the 46th minute.

Bournemouth pulled one back through Evanilson in the 51st minute, but Pedro scored his second goal in the 67th minute to extend Chelsea’s lead to 4-1.

The victory ends Chelsea’s run of three matches without a win and moves them into the Premier League’s top five.
