Chelsea kicked their Premier League campaign off with a decisive 3-0 victory over Crystal Palace.
The Blues opened the scoring on 27 minutes thanks to a stunning free-kick by Marcos Alonso just a few yards away from Palace’s box.
The west Londoners doubled their lead just five minutes before half-time when Mason Mount’s low cross was parried away by Vicente Guaita and set Christian Pulisic up for his fifth goal in five league meetings against Palace.
