Henderson scores surprise brace as Chelsea thrash Bournemouth

Jordan Henderson scored a brace against Bournemouth to help Chelsea record a 5-1 win at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.

Henderson gave Xabi Alonso's team the perfect start when the veteran midfielder curled home after just 68 seconds to claim his first goal for Chelsea.

The Blues struck again in the third minute as Morgan Rogers's drive deflected into the net off Bournemouth defender Antonio Silva.

Chelsea were on target just one minute after the interval through Joao Pedro's clinical finish from Pedro Neto's pass.

Evanilson got one back for Bournemouth in the 51st minute, deflecting in Moises Caicedo's miscued clearance as Chelsea's run without a league clean-sheet extended to 22 matches.

But Joao Pedro put the result beyond doubt, poking in from close-range in the 67th minute for his fifth goal this season.

England midfielder Henderson, 36, bagged his second in the 70th minute with a fierce free-kick, taking free-scoring Chelsea to 23 goals in just eight games in all competitions this term.
