LONDON — Chelsea set a club record of 12 straight English Premier League wins as it beat Bournemouth 3-0 on Monday.
Two goals from Pedro and Eden Hazard’s penalty kick ensured Antonio Conte’s side bettered a run of 11 victories set over two seasons in 2009, beginning in April under Guus Hiddink and ending in September under Carlo Ancelotti.
Only once — Arsenal in 2001-02, with 13 straight wins — has a top-tier club had a longer winning streak in one season since World War II.
