After breaking the deadlock just 66 seconds into the game and setting up Morgan Rogers for Chelsea’s second goal, Henderson produced his finest moment of the afternoon in the 70th minute.
Positioned over a free-kick just outside the penalty area, the veteran unleashed a magnificent effort that dipped over the defensive wall before finding the top corner.
The spectacular goal rounded off a dominant afternoon for Chelsea.

Having raced into a 2-0 lead within the opening three minutes, the Blues continued their attacking onslaught after the break, scoring four more times, including a quickfire double from forward João Pedro, to establish a commanding 5-1 advantage.
Henderson’s impressive performance highlights his continued importance at the highest level of football.
With two goals and an assist to his name, the summer recruit is demonstrating exactly why Xabi Alonso was keen to secure his signature.
The midfielder brings a wealth of Premier League experience, particularly from his successful spell at Liverpool, where he captained the club during one of the most successful periods in its recent history.
Now working under another Liverpool legend at Stamford Bridge, Henderson will be expected to use his experience and leadership qualities to help steer Chelsea towards success.
