Chelsea secured their first home win of the season in the Premier League as they beat Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
Frank Lampard’s side beat the Eagles 4-0 in West London to move them into the top-four for the time being.
Ben Chilwell, who recently joined the Blues from Leicester city, got the opening goal of the game on his Premier League debut for the club in the 50th minute. The ball fell to him at the back post and he fired home.
The 23-year-old then delivered an excellent cross from the left to allow Kurt Zouma to head in a second after 66 minutes, before Jorginho stepped up to convert two penalties in the space of four minutes to seal victory.
Tammy Abraham was left aggrieved as, having won the first penalty, he was denied the opportunity to take the second as captain Cesar Azpilicueta shepherded him away from Jorginho.
Manager Frank Lampard also handed a league debut to £22m goalkeeper Edouard Mendy as the hosts, led in defence by fellow summer addition, Thiago Silva, registered a first clean sheet of the season as visitors, Palace, failed to muster a shot on target.
Chelsea climbed into the top four before the rest of the weekend’s action, while defeat leaves Crystal Palace in eighth.
