Pedro and Hazard help Chelsea beat Bournemouth to maintain 100% record

It all ended up appearing deceptively comfortable.Not that the head coach will be satisfied as yet. The huff and puff endured for over an hour will have left him dissatisfied, and the nagging concern remains that his team are still too reliant upon Hazard’s quick feet and vision against teams who seek to clog up the play, as Bournemouth did for long periods here.
