Chelsea keep 100% start with win over Bournemouth
Chelsea made it four wins from four Premier League games under Maurizio Sarri after goals by substitute Pedro and Eden Hazard helped them beat Bournemouth.
The Cherries had produced a stubborn defensive display to frustrate the hosts before Pedro struck seven minutes after replacing Willian.
The Spaniard exchanged passes with fellow substitute Olivier Giroud before his deflected finish beat former Blues keeper Asmir Begovic.
Hazard doubled the lead with a qualify finish from an angle while Bournemouth's ex-Chelsea defender Nathan Ake blazed over from three yards out when the game was goalless.
