Havertz Inspired Blues makes light work of Palace
Chelsea's Christian Pulisic scores their side's fourth goal of the game during the Premier League match at Selhurst Park

Crystal Palace 1-4 Chelsea
by Gene Sylvester

KAI HAVERTZ produced a masterful performance as he helped inspire his Chelsea side to one of their most impressive performances of the season so far under Thomas Tuchel.

An emphatic first-half performance saw the West Londoners blow away the home side, cruising to a 3-0 lead within 30 minutes as they eventually ran out 4-1 winners against a deflated Palace side.

Following a two-minute silence to mark the passing of the Duke of Edinburgh on Friday, it took the visitors seven minutes to open their account at Selhurst Park with the only surprise being that it took them that long, such was the superiority of Chelsea during the opening period of the game.
