Cole Palmer has become the first player since Eden Hazard to achieve 20 Premier League goal contributions in successive seasons for Chelsea.
The 22-year-old scored the opening goal in the Blues’ 2-2 draw at home to Bournemouth on Tuesday night.
Nicolas Jackson did excellently to run through the Cherries’ midfield and find Palmer, whose finish was cool and calm.
He has now been involved in 20 Premier League goals this season with 14 goals and six assists coming his way in Chelsea colours.
This is second only to Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah, who leads on 31 with 18 goals and 13 assists.
Palmer still has some way to go in order to match his efforts from last season when he hit 33 goal contributions in the league.
However, he is the first Chelsea player to hit 20 or more Premier League goals and assists in consecutive campaigns since Hazard.
The Blues legend did so in his first three seasons with the club after signing from Lille, which were in 2012/13, 2013/14 and 2014/15.
Hazard amassed 139 Premier League goal contributions in total for Chelsea during his seven-year stint in west London.
Palmer is on 53 after just a season-and-a-half with the Blues, a tally that looks set to increase further in the coming years.
He had a brief injury worry shortly after his goal though as he went down holding his ankle after a challenge on Antoine Semenyo.
However, Palmer was able to return to the action following a short wait on the touchline.

Bournemouth came so close to equalising but Justin Kluivert’s low effort came off the post.
Jackson went on a blistering run seconds later and then hit the woodwork himself during a dramatic run of play.
The visitors equalised at the start of the second half when Kluivert scored a penalty after a Moises Caicedo foul on Semenyo.
Bournemouth then took the lead when Semenyo fired in at the near post with a powerful strike.
Reece James brought Chelsea level in midway through stoppage-time with a brilliant free-kick, with their winless Premier League run now extended to five matches.
Captain James said: “I knew it was a good distance and that side of the goal was open. There was a period where I was scoring quite frequently and I haven’t had that feeling for quite a long time.
“I think we had a few clear-cut chances that we should have taken in the first half and put the game to bed. It’s across football globally, if you have chances and you don’t take them then it can come back and hurt you.”
He added: “It was great to get the point and we should have really put it out of sight but football is like that. If you don’t take your chances it can come back and hurt you.
“I am glad and honoured to be back representing this team and I am happy to be back to help the team. It was lonely and frustrating but I am really happy to be back helping the team.
“I think [the top four] is realistic if you look at how we play. When we have played against the top teams we don’t shy away.
“We take it one game at a time and see where we will end up at the end of the season.”
Chelsea return to action on Monday night when they welcome Wolves to Stamford Bridge.
