Chelsea vs Bournemouth as it happened: Eden Hazard and Pedro score as Maurizio Sarri's continues unbeaten start

Relive all the action from Stamford Bridge as Chelsea beat Bournemouth

Chelsea Manager Maurizio Sarri says he's really happy with Ruben Loftus Cheek ahead of their Premier League clash against Bournemouth

Life at Stamford Bridge has started very promisingly for Maurizio Sarri, who has guided Chelsea to three wins in their opening Premier League matches.

Chelsea, however, will not be taking Bournemouth lightly, having lost to them twice at home in their last three league meetings in west London.

Eddie Howe could hand Jefferson Lerma his Premier League debut and will welcome back Adam Smith, who returns from suspension, as they look to maintain their unbeaten start.

We'll have all the latest from Stamford Bridge and around the Premier League:

SECOND HALF KICK OFF

[1 September 2018 18:34 · Nathan Jacobs]

City start well and David Silva threads a ball through to Raheem Sterling whose dink into the box is well dealt with once again. 

[1 September 2018 18:37 · Nathan Jacobs]

49 mins: Silva wastes a free-kick and it's even worse from Mahrez who blazes it over the bar. 

[1 September 2018 18:41 · Nathan Jacobs]

52 mins: GOAL! Manchester City 2-1 Newcastle (Walker, 53) 

City keep possession very well and Aguero feeds the ball into Walker who lets fly from 30 yards and absolutely smashes it into the bottom corner. 

What a goal that is. 

Wow. 

[1 September 2018 18:41 · Nathan Jacobs]

​53 mins: Sub for Newcastle. 

Kenedy off for Atsu. 

[1 September 2018 18:44 · Nathan Jacobs]

55 mins: Half chance for Newcastle as the ball falls to Dummett on the edge of the box but his left footed shot goes harmlessly wide. 

[1 September 2018 18:45 · Nathan Jacobs]

57 mins: GOAL DISALLOWED! 

Aguero over heads the ball into the path of ​Gabriel Jesus who slots the ball away but it has been given as offside. 

And moments later, he is replaced by Bernardo Silva. 

He's not a happy man. 

[1 September 2018 18:49 · Nathan Jacobs]

Replays of Walker's goal just show how fantastic of a strike that really was. Perfection. 

He's done it a couple of times before but it really is quite the strike. 

[1 September 2018 18:53 · Nathan Jacobs]

64 mins: CHANCE! 

City play some marvellous football and Bernardo switches a fantastic ball to Aguero who repays the favour with a fantastic dink to Fernandinho who is well stopped by Dubravka. 

David Silva follows it up and is denied not once but twice and City get the ball back once again. 

Should be 3-1. Great goalkeeping. 

[1 September 2018 18:55 · Nathan Jacobs]

66 mins: CHANCE!

Mahrez swings in a great ball into the far post where David Silva is lurking. His header back across goal just doesn't have enough on it and it bounces wide of the goal and into safety.
