Bournemouth 1-4 Chelsea: Hazard scores two and Fabregas sets up three in easy win


The Belgian attacker returned to the starting XI and netted his first two league goals of the season while his Spanish team-mate impressed as well by setting up three
Eden Hazard marked his return to the Chelsea starting XI with his first two Premier League goals of the season as the Blues beat Bournemouth 4-1 on Saturday.

The Belgium international returned to the first-team after a hip injury sustained in March and fired past Artur Boruc in the opening half to finally get off the mark before netting a second late on.

Hazard was not the only star, though, as Cesc Fabregas impressed for the visitors, grabbing three assists as he set up Pedro, Hazard and Willian in a comfortable victory.
 
Pedro had the Blues 1-0 up after just five minutes when he rounded off a neat counter attack by taking on a Fabregas pass and flicking it over Boruc and into the bottom corner.

Hazard got his first Premier League goal of the campaign late in the first half, drilling past Boruc from the edge of the area after Fabregas had teed it up.

Bournemouth pulled one back almost immediately after, though, when Simon Francis whipped the ball into the box and Tommy Elphick headed low into the net.

The home side felt they should have had a penalty in the dying stages of the first half when John Obi Mikel dived in clumsily on Grabban, but the referee opted against pointing to the spot.
But it was Chelsea who next found the net when Fabregas' through ball was raced onto by Willian who put it past the goalkeeper before Hazard added his second in injury time.
