Chelsea continue their build-up towards the start of the 2021-22 season with a 2-1 victory against Bournemouth at Vitality Stadium.

A goal each from Armando Broja and Ike Ugbo handed the Blues their second straight preseason triumph so far this summer.

Emiliano Marcondes broke the deadlock for the hosts with a superb header in the 66th minute after both sides failed to find the back of the net in the opening half.

But a quick response from Broja who recently penned a long-term deal with the Stamford Bridge outfit from close range restored parity in the game in the 72nd minute.

While Ugbo sealed the winner for the Champions League winners in the 76th minute as he hopes to impress Thomas Tuchel on his return from a loan deal at Belgian side Cercle Brugge last season.

The 22-year-old whose current deal with the Blues expires in the summer of 2022 scored 16 goals and one assist in the Belgian Pro League and he will be hoping to break into the club's senior team soon.

Chelsea however have two more test games against Arsenal on August 1 and Tottenham three days later before they conclude their preseason plans.

Recall that Tuchel's men thrashed Peterborough 6-1 in their friendly game earlier this month as stated on Chelsea's official website.
