Joao Pedro and Jordan Henderson both scored braces as Chelsea hit Bournemouth for five to break their three-match winless run in the Premier League.
Blues End Winless Streak
The Blues had drawn with Hull and tasted defeat at Arsenal and Brentford in their previous three league outings, but any semblance of pressure on Xabi Alonso has now dissipated with this emphatic victory.
Fast Start and Dominant Display
The Blues were 2-0 up after three minutes as Henderson scored first-time from the edge of the penalty area before teeing up Morgan Rogers to curl home from a similar area. Joao Pedro added a third 30 seconds into the second half.
Bournemouth Fight Back Falls Short
Bournemouth then enjoyed a fine spell and Evanilson turned home an errant Moises Caicedo clearance to cut the deficit.
But Chelsea were having none of it, with Joao Pedro offering another emphatic finish before Henderson buried a fine free-kick to take the goalscoring tally to five.
It leaves Marco Rose in serious trouble, with his Cherries now winless in six Premier League matches.
