Jordan Henderson was the hero for Chelsea last weekend, as the England veteran scored two sublime goals in a 5-1 win over Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge \u2013 but Peter Crouch is not happy.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Henderson<\/a> scored with his first Chelsea<\/a> touch at Stamford Bridge, sweeping a Cole Palmer lay-off into the far corner after 66 seconds. His second touch was to find Morgan Rogers with an assist moments later.<\/p>\n

\n

Then, late in the day, Henderson was given permission to take a free-kick by Cole Palmer after impressing Austin MacPhee with his free-kicks in training. He curled home Chelsea\u2019s fifth. A brace on his home debut.<\/p>\n

Peter Crouch hammers Jordan Henderson for his behaviour<\/h2>\n

Before taking the free-kick, Palmer asked Henderson which corner flag he\u2019d like to celebrate by. The duo then sprinted towards the corner to celebrate, both with beaming smiles on their face after the goal.<\/p>\n

During his celebration, Henderson grabbed the badge on his chest. John Obi Mikel said Henderson is not \u201cone of us\u201d,<\/a> but the Liverpool legend showed his new-found allegiance to Chelsea with the gesture.<\/p>\n

Jordan Henderson starred in Chelsea\u2019s win over Bournemouth, but who is the club\u2019s greatest-ever free transfer? \ud83e\udd14<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

It didn\u2019t impress former Liverpool striker Crouch<\/a>. Speaking on That Peter Crouch podcast<\/a>, Crouch said he was delighted to see Henderson shine, but \u2013 slightly tongue-in-cheek \u2013 told him not to touch the badge.<\/p>\n

\u201cDid you see the free-kick he did in training? Did exactly the same in training. That\u2019s what it\u2019s all about, doing something in training and doing it. I love the story of Palmer saying we\u2019ll run there when you score. <\/p>\n

\u201cReally pleased for Jordan. There was something about, or an element of, touching the [Chelsea] badge. I\u2019m going to let him off now, because I know him and I like him, but maybe don\u2019t do that again,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Can Henderson not simply be Liverpool and Chelsea?<\/h2>\n

Obviously, Henderson is a Liverpool legend and rightly so. He was the man to lift the Premier League trophy with the Reds after a 30-year wait for a top-flight title. He won the Champions League there, too.<\/p>\n

But it has been three years since Henderson last played for Liverpool, leaving the club in 2023 to join Al-Ettifaq in Saudi Arabia. Now, he\u2019s a Chelsea player, and Blues fans are in awe of the England midfielder.<\/p>\n

Ahead of a return to Merseyside this weekend, Henderson is likely to be one of the first names on Xabi Alonso\u2019s team sheet. While he is a Chelsea player, can he not also show love for his current club, as well?<\/p>\n

The only thing on Henderson\u2019s mind right now will be convincing his new fanbase that he is more than just a leader<\/a>, bought for more than just his attitude and example. He can still offer quality on the pitch.<\/p>\n
