Premier League: Chelsea beat Bournemouth, Man Utd start brightly after Ronaldo exit

English Clubs Chelsea and Manchester United both registered victories in their first games back after the World Cup break.

Kai Havertz & Mason Mount were on target as the Blues registered a 2-0 win over Bournemouth. 

However, Chelsea suffered a big blow in the form of Reece James. James, who missed the World Cup with a knee injury, sparked fears of a recurrence after he limped off in the 53rd minute. 

In the other game on Tuesday night, Manchester United started life without Cristiano Ronaldo on a bright note.

Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial & Fred, all scored as the Red Devils cruised to a 3-0 victory against Nottingham Forest.
