Chelsea join Liverpool at the top, Pedro and Hazard rescue Maurizio Sarri

Chelsea left it late to secure victory against Bournemouth and maintain their 100 per cent record.

Pedro and Eden Hazard struck as the game entered the latter stages, on what was appearing to be a frustrating afternoon for Maurizio Sarri.

Chelsea were dominant but were unable to convert their chances until the 72nd minute.

Spaniard Pedro secured the breakthrough before Hazard doubled the scoring as the Cherries pushed for an equaliser.

The result keeps Chelsea on par with Liverpool at the top of the Premier League, while Bournemouth suffered their first defeat despite a battling defensive display.
