The Blues romped to a 1-3 victory over AFC Bournemouth and Moses was in the thick of action from start till the 90th minute when he gave way for Kourt Zouma.
The Nigeria international was yellow-carded as early as the 8th minute but he kept his cool to avoid a second that would have resulted in a red card.

It wasn’t a stroll in the park for Chelsea as the Cherries put in a spirited performance and gave themselves a lifeline on the stroke of half time when Joshua King found the net with the help of a deflection, but Marcos Alonso’s impressive free kick in the second period put the game beyond them.
In other games, Kelechi Iheanacho was a second half substitute as Manchester City kept their own top four finish ambition intact with a 3-1 win over Hull City.
