Christian Pulisic fires Chelsea to victory over Crystal Palace
Christian Pulisic fired Chelsea to a 3-0 win at Stamford Bridge on Saturday against Crystal
Palace.
Marcos Alonso opened the scoring for Thomas Tuchel’s side and it was a memorable Premier League debut for
Trevor Chalobah scored in front of the home crowd.
“It is a dream for a boy like me being here and to play for my home club is unreal,” Chalobah said after the game.
“As I getting closer to the goal I thoughtt I might as well shoot and just went for it.
I surprised by the Super Cup game too and I have taken the opportunity with both hands.”

Alonso put Chelsea ahead on 27 minutes with a free-kick. He swept the ball over the Crystal Palace defense with
his left foot.
The United States men’s national team international Pulisic added Chelsea’s second 10 minutes later when Vicente
Guaita saved a Mason Mount shot. The goalkeeper only managed to push the ball as far as Pulisic, though, who
tapped it into the net.
Chelsea’s third came from Chalobah — who used to be a ballboy at Stamford Bridge — on 58 minutes. He struck
the ball into the bottom corner from 25 yards out.
The result means Patrick Vieira starts his tenure at Crystal Palace with a loss. The ex-New York City FC boss was
appointed coach after Roy Hodgson stepped down during the summer following four years in the role.
