Jordan Henderson, 36, scored twice and set up another goal on his home debut for Chelsea in a 5-1 win over Bournemouth.
He opened the scoring in the second minute. Later he bent in a free-kick and provided the assist for Morgan Rogers. It was Chelsea's first league win in four games and lifted them to fifth.
Bournemouth lined up in an open 4-4-2, with Rayan close to Evanilson in attack. That overly ambitious setup helped Chelsea's No10 Cole Palmer, 24, make an immediate impact. Before kick-off, Palmer gave only an embarrassed nod when he spotted his family by the tunnel. He also had a point to prove after Thomas Tuchel questioned his desire to play for England last month.
