LONDON: Chelsea subsided to a 3-0 home win over an immigrated crystal palace on Saturday because European champions made a strong statement of intention in the opening match of their Premier League season.
Spain returned back Marcos Alonso hissed a free kick to the upper corner to put Chelsea responsible in the 27th minute while A.
Continuing Christian Pulisic was followed up on the rebound to double their leaders five minutes before halftime.
Homegrown defender Chelsea Trevoh Chalobah then completed his debut Premier Dream in the second half when he destroyed his long distance at the post to score his first goal for the club that lasted eight years.
Defenders, who have spent the last three seasons with loans in the UK and France, kneeling after scoring for more pleasing home fans in the crowd of the largest Stamford Bridge since the Pandemic Coronavirus struck in March 2020, with more than 38,000 replacements.
“This is a dream for boys like me here and playing for my home club is not real,” Chalobah said.
“When I got closer to my goal even though I might shoot and just go for it.
I don’t know the ball in, I don’t know what to do.
I’m above the moon.” Chelsea faithfully imposed their status as Champions League holders throughout the temporary match Kai Havertz, scorer of the only goal in their victory in the Manchester City final, was given a hero acceptance when he came out of the bench.
The signing of the Fellow Romelu Lukaku club was not in the game because he was still observing the Protocol Quarantine Coronavirus after traveling to England from Italy after 97.5 million pounds ($ 135 million) moved from Inter Milan.
The Belgian, who fired Inter to the title of Serie A last season with 24 league goals, will start training on Monday and will make Chelsea’s debut both go to Arsenal next week.
The palace was outside the classroom in their first league match under Patrick Vieira coach and needed more than an hour to make their first attempt on the target, the benign header by Christian Benteke, the goalkeeper Mendey was captured comfortably.
Chelsea ‘difficult to handle’ “they are difficult to handle,” said the Palace midfielder James McArthur.
“They made us some problems but we knew we had to be better.
Managers demanded us to try to go up to the ball and become a little brave, we can’t get out.
Bad day in the office.” Chelsea enjoyed facing the palace because this was the consecutive eighth league victory over them, while Pulisic scored for the fifth match ran against South London.
Coach Thomas Tuchel, who oversees extraordinary turnaround since taking over in January after Frank Lampard’s dismissal, was named as usual on the touchline and loss of patience on one occasion when Picais was too slow to start a counterattack.
Chelsea will feel confident with a serious encouragement for the first Premier League title since 2017 in their first full season under German tactics and will definitely be more dangerous in front of the goal when Lukaku is integrated into the team.
