Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe said Chelsea showed they are capable of winning the title in their 3-0 victory over his side at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea’s win was their 12th in a row in the Premier League and cemented their position at the top of the table.
Pedro scored twice and Howe admitted his team struggled to contain the superb Eden Hazard, who scored with a second-half penalty after being fouled in the area.
“He was outstanding with his movement and ability to turn on the ball so quickly,” Howe said.
“When you have Hazard, Pedro and Willian counter-attacking you it is very difficult.
“We gave them too many chances to get in those situations and that’s certainly something for us to take away from this game.
“The manager has done a great job. Chelsea look very strong and they can go all the way.”
