Chelsea keeps first clean sheet of the season after 4 nil demolition of Crystal Palace!

After a lackluster performance in the first half, Frank Lampard’s men turned the game around in the second as they thrashed Roy Hodgson’s Crystal Palace 4-0 at Stamford Bridge.

Ben Chilwell marked his Premier League debut for Chelsea with a goal as he opened the floodgates of goals in the second half as he smashed the ball into the net from a rebound.

Kurt Zouma put the game beyond the Eagles in the 66th minute with a brilliant header assisted by Ben Chilwell, before Jorginho bagged a brace via two penalties.

Ben Chilwell becomes the third Chelsea player to score and assist on his debut after Deco in August 2008 and Alvaro Morata in August 2017.
