Chelsea 2 - 0 Bournemouth : 3 talking points

#2 Classic Eden Hazard

Hazard scored Chelsea's second goal of the day.

The Belgian was fantastic throughout the match. He repeatedly made inroads from the left wing into the Bournemouth penalty area but failed to provide the finishing touch in the first half. Chelsea was exploiting the width a lot more in the game which allowed Hazard to have more of the ball and find passes in the Cherries penalty box.

His effort paid off when he picked the ball up on the left, dribbled into the box and hit a low shot into the bottom right-hand corner giving Begovic no chance to save it. Eden Hazard is crucial for Chelsea this season if they have to win the Premier League and Sarri will be hoping that his talisman stays fit till the end of the season.

#3 Missed chances from Bournemouth

Eddie Howe's side missed several chances of their own.

Eddie Howe's Bournemouth took 25 points at the beginning of last season from losing positions and the same resilience they have shown this season also with a couple of hard-fought wins from their previous three matches.

Callum Wilson could have put the visitors in front, but he missed his shot entirely in the first half. They will rue all the half chances that they squandered. The determination that they showed in their last few games was needed today as well, and they did put up a valiant effort to get back into the match, but against Chelsea, at the Stanford Bridge if you don't take your chances you have to pay.
