Latest Chelsea news after Blues earned an important victory at Bournemouth, with Enzo Maresca's side back in action when they travel to West Ham on Saturday
Chelsea secured their second Premier League win of the season during Saturday's 1-0 success at Bournemouth. Christopher Nkunku's late winner proved the difference as the Blues returned to winning ways.
The result means the Blues move up to eighth and within two points off the top four at this early stage of the season. It felt like a needed victory for Enzo Maresca, who has come under some criticism for his possession-based style of football, though the Blues are now on seven points from a possible 12.
Jadon Sancho impressed on his Chelsea debut since his loan move from Manchester United, picking up the Player of the Match award despite only coming on at halftime. There were other excellent performances, with Robert Sanchez saving a penalty and keeping a clean sheet, while Nkunku's impact is not forgotten.

Conor Gallagher scored his first Atletico Madrid goal during their 3-0 win over Valencia on Sunday. The 24-year-old, who ended his 18-year association with Chelsea to join Atletico last month, has impressed since making the switch to Madrid and he capped his full home debut with his maiden strike.
A fine team move saw Atletico break fast, with Rodrigo de Paul playing a neat pass through to Gallagher, who kept his composure before slotting the ball home. Antoine Griezmann and Julian Alvarez scored the other two goals for Diego Simeone's side, who sit third in La Liga with 11 points from five matches.
