Jordan Henderson gave a great glimpse into the banter behind his free-kick stunner against Bournemouth.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Making the most of a rare start at Stamford Bridge, Jordan Henderson<\/a> was brilliant. <\/p>\n

\n

He set the tone in under 70 seconds with a clean finish from the edge of the box, then set up Morgan Rogers just a minute later. But the highlight came in the 70th minute when he talked Cole Palmer and Rogers into letting him step up, curling a stunning 25-yard free-kick into the top corner. <\/p>\n

And at 36 years and 115 days, he became Chelsea\u2019s oldest player to record three goal involvements in a Premier League match<\/a>, which is some achievement for a so-called role player. <\/p>\n

Jordan Henderson on his free-kick against Bournemouth<\/h2>\n

Jordan Henderson had a good laugh talking about his free-kick, giving full credit to Cole Palmer and Morgan Rogers for stepping aside. He mentioned he\u2019d been putting in extra work on set-pieces in training all week, so when the opportunity came up, he was glad his teammates trusted him to take it.<\/p>\n

Talking after the match, he said: \u201cI\u2019ve been working on it in training for the last week or two. Morgs [Morgan Rogers] wasn\u2019t too happy but then said \u2018go on then\u2019. Cole [Palmer] said \u2018which corner are we celebrating in when you score?\u2019. I\u2019m thankful to Cole and Morgs for letting me take it. I\u2019ve been pretty consistent with it in training.\u201d<\/p>\n

That playful banter shows exactly the kind of atmosphere built in this squad. For a 36-year-old veteran to step up and take set-pieces off the main guys takes genuine mutual respect, but Henderson earned it on the practice pitch. <\/p>\n

He\u2019s leading by example and giving the younger players a proper standard to follow, which is exactly what he was brought to the club to do. Only the goals weren\u2019t so expected. <\/p>\n
