Jordan Henderson Scores Stunning First Chelsea Goal and Assists Morgan Rogers
Jordan Henderson scored inside two minutes as Chelsea put three past Bournemouth before halftime and looked to end a three-match league winless run.
Chelsea established a commanding 3-0 lead over Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, with Jordan Henderson, Morgan Rogers, and Joao Pedro scoring during a blistering opening sequence.
Manager Xabi Alonso navigated a burgeoning injury crisis last month, allowing his squad to return at full strength after the three-week international break.
Henderson, per Opta, scored and assisted a goal inside two minutes and 29 seconds, marking the fastest 2-0 lead in Chelsea's Premier League history.
Despite Evanilson scoring for Bournemouth to make it 3-1, Marco Rose's side remains 17th in the Premier League table after a winless start.
Chelsea has conceded a league-high 12 goals this season and has yet to keep any opponent below two goals, presenting persistent defensive vulnerabilities for Alonso to address.
