Premier League: Chelsea's scathing wake-up call

After three matches without a victory, Chelsea recovered well by correcting Bournemouth (5-1) this Saturday during the 6th day of the Premier League. Obviously, the international break has been good for Chelsea.

While they remained on a series of three matches without a victory, including a draw against Hull City (2-2) and a slap at Brentford (3-0), the Blues perfectly negotiated their return to competition by outclassing Bournemouth (5-1) this Saturday at Stamford Bridge. For his second start of the season, Jordan Henderson was decisive.

The former Liverpool captain was decisive twice in three minutes, first scorer (2nd), then decisive passer for Morgan Rogers (3rd). He then scored twice in the second half (70th), just like Joao Pedro (46th, 67th), while Evanilson had reduced the gap for the visitors (51st).

In the standings, Chelsea moved up to fifth place, level with Brentford, who brought Aston Villa to a draw (2-2) while Brighton continued their excellent start to the season by winning on Sunderland (0-2), thanks to Maxim de Cuyper (53rd) and Jaouen Hadjam (90th+3). On the other hand, at the bottom of the table, Fulham are still winless after their defeat at Ipswich (2-1), in a meeting where the Cottagers still led 1-0 before the 88th minute.
