After linking up with fellow  substitute Olivier Giroud, Pedro turned past Ake and fired the ball beyond  Begovic from the edge of the area, with the deflection off Steve Cook taking it  beyond the goalkeeper's reach.   Hazard combined with Alonso to drill home a second five minutes from time and  lift Chelsea level with Liverpool on 12 points from a possible 12, while  Bournemouth are sixth after their first defeat of the season.</blockquote>
