Chelsea 2-0 Bournemouth LIVE! Premier League result, match stream, Reece James injury updates and reaction

Chelsea vs Bournemouth LIVE!

Chelsea are back in business in the Premier League after a much-needed victory on Tuesday night. Goals from Kai Havertz and Mason Mount inside 25 minutes ultimately brushed aside below-par Bournemouth and ended a dismal run of three successive losses suffered under Graham Potter just before the mid-season break for the World Cup.

Though the Blues failed to properly kill the game off despite creating numerous more chances, they will still have been relieved to easily avoid losing four top-flight matches in a row for the first time since 1998. However, such a triumph was unfortunately soured as Reece James was forced off in the second half after suffering a setback on his start since suffering a serious knee injury in October.

The win takes Chelsea up to eighth and six points adrift of the top four, while the Cherries stay 14th and only three points above the relegation zone. Follow Chelsea vs Bournemouth reaction live below, with expert analysis from Nick Purewal at Stamford Bridge!
