Chelsea have won their 12th Premier League game in a row for the first time in their history, after thrashing Bournemouth 3-0 on Boxing Day at Stamford Bridge.

The London Blues went ahead after 24 minutes on Monday-night through Pedro. The Spaniard received a short pass from Fabregas and sent a curling effort into the top-left corner to make it 1-0.

Chelsea then doubled their advantage when Eden Hazard scored his 50th Premier League Goal from the penalty spot.
