Jordan Henderson just delivered a timeless performance for Chelsea.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Brought in over the summer following midfield injuries to Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia, Jordan Henderson<\/a> was initially signed to provide depth and leadership under Xabi Alonso. <\/p>\n

\n

But against Bournemouth, he stole the show. He set up a goal and netted one himself inside the first two minutes and 29 seconds, the fastest goal and assist combination in the Premier League since 1998. <\/p>\n

He then capped off his masterclass by curling a 30-yard free-kick into the top corner, sealing a 5-1 thrashing and proving he\u2019s still got plenty left in the tank.<\/p>\n

Jordan Henderson\u2019s two goals and assist make history <\/h2>\n

Jordan Henderson just put on an absolute clinic<\/a> at Stamford Bridge, setting an Opta-verified milestone in Chelsea\u2019s 5-1 thrashing of Bournemouth. <\/p>\n

At 36 years and 115 days old, he became the oldest player in Chelsea history to notch three goal involvements in a Premier League game with two goals and an assist. <\/p>\n

In fact, across the entire league, nobody that old has put up numbers like that in a single match since Cristiano Ronaldo did it against Norwich back in April 2022 at age 37.<\/p>\n
