Alvaro Morata scored two goals as Chelsea, beaten by a 2-0 win over Chelsea, progressed to second place in the Premier League with a 3-1 victory over Crystal Palace.
After Liverpool's draw against Arsenal on Saturday, Chelsea were aware that the victory would take them to second place and put the brilliant striker Murata of Spain on the way to winning two wonderful goals.
In the first goal, Murata, 26, skillfully controlled Pedro's cross pass and turned it into the net in the 32nd minute. After Andreas Townsend tied for Palas, the Spanish striker hit the net from a difficult corner in the 65th minute, scoring his fourth goal in four games.
Pedro made it five minutes later as he headed into the area to turn Marcos Alonso into the net in the 70th minute for Chelsea, who welcomed the return of Eden Hazard, who took the lead in the second half.
Chelsea, one of three teams that have not lost so far, have 27 points from 11 games, two points behind leaders Manchester City, and are ahead of Liverpool on goal difference.
Palas won only twice in the league this season and stayed in 14th place with eight points.
"I could have scored three goals, but that was not the ideal day for me, but we took the three points," said Murata, who lost a golden chance to score the third goal in the last seconds of the game.
"We want to fight to the end in order to win the Premier League, which is very difficult because the Premier League is the strongest league in the world in terms of competition, and it will be very difficult ... we want to score all the points. Title".
Cesare's Hazard was on the bench because of injury, but under coach Maurizio Sari, Chelsea no longer rely solely on the Belgian player's talent.
But 27-year-old Hazard took the lead as a substitute for a big welcome from the fans, and his participation was enough for Chelsea to end comfortably with two quick goals from Murata and Pedro.
