Crystal Palace had three Ghanaian players on the pitch as Chelsea defeated the Eagles 3-0 at Stamford Bridge.

The European champions dominated from start to end, and Marcos Alonso opened the scoring just before the half-hour mark with a stunning free-kick.

Chelsea increased their advantage with five minutes left in the half through Christian Pulisic, who converted a Vicente Guaita save for his fifth goal in five games versus Palace.

Moving forward into space, Chalobah unleashed a powerful low shot that Guaita could only turn onto the post and in, marking the 22-year-Premier old’s League debut.

Vieira’s squad, on the other hand, needed 62 minutes to register their one and only goal, and gave no sign of a brighter future under their new coach.

Jordan Ayew and Jeffrey Schlupp, both Ghanaian internationals, played for Palace before youngster Jesuran Rak-Sakyi came in in the 77th minute.

Rak-Sakyi, who was born to Ghanaian parents, was making his Eagles debut after being promoted to the senior team for this season.
