Henderson Shines with Two Goals in Chelsea's 5-1 Win
Chelsea FC achieved a commanding 5-1 victory over Bournemouth, ending their four-match winless streak. Jordan Henderson, making his home debut at 36 years old, scored his first two goals for the club.
He opened the scoring just 68 seconds into the match, assisted by Cole Palmer, who had signed a contract extension until 2034 earlier that day. Chelsea quickly doubled their lead through Morgan Rogers, whose effort was credited as a goal after a VAR review.
Bournemouth, under new manager Marco Rose, struggled to respond despite several chances. After halftime, Joao Pedro extended Chelsea's lead to 3-0, but Evanilson pulled one back for Bournemouth.
Chelsea quickly restored their three-goal cushion with another goal from Joao Pedro, and Henderson capped the scoring with a free-kick. This victory propelled Chelsea into the top five of the Premier League, while Bournemouth remained winless and only outside the relegation zone on goal difference.
