Chelsea have registered a dominating 4-0 victory over Crystal Palace at the Stamford Bridge. The newcomer full-back Ben Chilwell, who became the star of the match with a goal and an assist on his debut, sheds praise over the stupendous team game of the hosts and elaborates the hunger his squad has to taste silverware.
Coming off of a narrow 3-3 draw against West Brom last weekend, Chelsea went all-in against Palace in a four-goal thriller at home.
With his first appearance for Chelsea in the Premier League which was also his 100th league appearance, Ben Chilwell scored the first goal in the 50th minute, hammering the ball into the net from a calculated pass from Tammy Abraham.
The English left-back also set up the second goal for Chelsea centre back Kurt Zouma. After taking a corner in the 66th minute, Chilwell received the ball near the box and volleyed it towards Zouma, the Frenchman who headed it into the Eagles net.
Jorginho earned his brace, both from the spot in the 78th and 82nd minute.

We showed a hunger to press: Ben Chilwell on Chelsea win
“Brilliant team performance,” Ben Chilwell spoke to BT Sport after the win. “Obviously, I’m very happy with my personal performance, but it’s great for us to start to kick on now.
Chelsea’s new goalkeeper signing Edouard Mendy earned his first clean sheet on his first PL appearance for the club, something which Chilwell also touched upon.
“A clean sheet, which we obviously wanted and spoke about, and four great goals as a team,” the 23-year-old went on, “I liked the way we kept going until the end, we wanted more goals and showed a hunger to press for the whole 90 minutes. Brilliant going into the international break.”

“Personally, and speaking to the other boys who have come here, the reason we have all come here is that we think this team can win stuff,” said the England international.
Chelsea last won the 2018-19 UEFA Europa League and their latest domestic silverware dates back a year further when they lifted the 2017-18 FA Cup.
“Today showed that we are all hungry to win trophies over the years, we just need to work hard and keeping making performances like this one,” Chilwell signed off.
