Spanish forward Pedro Rodriguez scored twice in the 3-0 win over Bournemouth on Monday as red-hot leaders Chelsea register a club-record 12th consecutive Premier League victory.
Eden Hazard scored his 50th English league goal at Stamford Bridge as Antonio Conte’s side gained a provisional nine-point lead at the summit in the Boxing Day action.
Chelsea’s victory over Bournemouth left them one win short of Arsenal’s 2002 record of 13 successive victories within the same top-flight season.
With Diego Costa and N’Golo Kante suspended, Conte paired Cesc Fabregas and Nemanja Matic in midfield, with Hazard starting up front, flanked by Willian and Pedro.
Pedro broke the deadlock in the 24th minute, curling a left-foot shot into the top corner from Fabregas’s pass following a neatly worked corner.
Hazard made it 2-0 four minutes into the second half, rolling a penalty into the bottom-right corner after he had drawn a foul from Simon Francis, with Pedro adding a deflected shot in stoppage time.
