Ben Chilwell has 1 goal 1 assists against Crystal Palace

Defender Ben Chilwell was used by coach Frank Lampard from the start. The British star did not play well in the first minutes of the game, losing the ball 5 times after only 10 minutes of play. However, in the first 10 minutes of the second half, this expensive left-back became the protagonist of the field.

Ben Chilwell opened the scoring with a shot in the area and immediately created Kurt Zouma to double the gap. With this achievement, the former Leicester star became the 23rd player to score with his Premier League debut for Chelsea and the first English player to do so since Paul Hughes against Derby County in January 1997.

So far, Chilwell is only the third player to score and assist in his first Premier League game with Chelsea, after Deco in August 2008 and Álvaro Morata in August 2017. In addition to an assist of 1 goal, the player born in 1996 left his mark with 111 touches and performed up to 11 centers, 5 of which found the right direction.
