BOURNEMOUTH, England (AP) " Chelsea answered Tottenham's win with its own by beating Bournemouth 3-1 to restore its seven-point lead in the English Premier League on Saturday. Tottenham, Chelsea's only remaining title rival, applied pressure by defeating Watford 4-0 hours earlier. Josh King pulled one back for Bournemouth, only for Marcos Alonso's stunning free kick to seal victory for Chelsea. The home side continued to make Chelsea uncomfortable after halftime until Alonso delivered the decisive blow in the 68th. Costa won a free kick 25 yards out and Alonso did the rest.
