Chelsea vs Crystal Palace - LIVE!
Chelsea thumped Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Saturday as Ben Chilwell marked his league debut by scoring a goal and creating another before Jorginho sealed the win with two penalties.
Palace had stifled Chelsea in a goalless first half but Chilwell punished them for a rare defensive error, firing home from close range in the 50th minute after Mamadou Sakho fluffed a clearance, allowing Cesar Azpilicueta to line up a cross.
Chelsea doubled their lead in the 66th minute when the visitors failed to clear a corner and Zouma rose above everyone else in the box to meet a cross by Chilwell and send a header past Vicente Guaita.
Jorginho made sure of the win when he converted two penalties in the space of five minutes late in the game.

Prediction: Chelsea 2-1 Crystal Palace
It's fair to say Chelsea have underwhelmed since the start of the season and Tuesday's collapse against Tottenham will have concerned Frank Lampard. Crystal Palace, meanwhile, have impressed with wins over Southampton and Manchester United.
Chelsea have enough about them, on paper at least, to see off Palace. They should do the job on Saturday.
