Chelsea have beaten Crystal Palace 3-1 at the Stamford Bridge on Sunday in the English Premier League with Morata scoring twice.


The London derby was a cagey one at the early stage of the game but midway through the first half, the host scored the opener through Morata who earned himself a yard of space and unleashed a fine shot into the net.

Palace kept on relying on counter attacks and got the equalising goal after the breakthrough Andros Townsend as English man pounced on McArthur's pass and slammed the ball into the corner of Kepa’s goal.
