Bournemouth 1-3 Chelsea Diego Costa, Eden Hazard, Joshua King and Marco Alonso Video Goal Highlights!

Bournemouth 0-1 Chelsea Diego Costa Goal Video Highlight!!

Goal! The credit goes to Diego Costa (Chelsea).

If the Chelsea first goal was bizarre – Diego Costa’s scuffed shot went in off the head of grounded home defender Adam Smith – the second was sublime.

Bournemouth 0-2 Chelsea Eden Hazard Goal Video Highlight!!

Eden Hazard (Chelsea) receives a well-taken defence-splitting pass inside the box and scores! He buries the ball into the bottom left corner.

N’Golo Kante, excellent in both winning the ball and moving the visitors forward, found the equally impressive Eden Hazard with a precision long pass, allowing the galloping Belgian to round home keeper Artur Boruc.

Bournemouth 1-2 Chelsea Joshua King Goal Video Highlight!!

Goaal – Joshua King pulls one back for Bournemouth!

But Bournemouth, who had already hit the post, got back into the contest through Joshua King’s long-range deflected effort.

Bournemouth 1-3 Chelsea Marcos Alonso Goal Video Highlight!!

Goal! Marcos Alonso (Chelsea) coolly slotted the ball past the goalkeeper and seals three points for the Blues.

Marcos Alonso (Chelsea) scores a beautiful goal from the resulting free kick. He bends the ball into the top right corner. A technically stunning goal.

The away side were pegged back either side of half-time, but gradually reasserted themselves as the second period progressed and Alonso’s curling, dipping free-kick killed the contest.
