AFC Bournemouth 1-4 Chelsea: Hazard at the double on Chelsea return

Goals from Pedro, Eden Hazard and Willian earned Chelsea a 4-1 win over AFC Bournemouth in the Premier League.

Eden Hazard scored his first and second Premier League goals of the season as Chelsea beat AFC Bournemouth 4-1 at The Vitality Stadium.

The Belgian marked his return from a hip injury with the second and fourth Chelsea goals after Pedro had given the Premier League champion an early lead on the south coast.

After defeats in its previous two games, Chelsea was in danger of being caught by Bournemouth in the Premier League table, but Hazard's double either side of a Willian goal proved enough to clinch victory despite Tommy Elphick pulling one back for the Cherries.
