Chelsea winger Christian Pulisic was delighted to get on the score sheet in Saturday's 3-0 win over Crystal Palace.

Pulisic bumbled in Chelsea's second as they cruised to victory at Stamford Bridge.

"It was extremely important to start well," he said. "Obviously we had a tough Super Cup game the other day, so to recover well and make sure we brought the intensity against Palace was very important and we showed right from the start that we were ready to play.

"I'm really happy with the way the game went and obviously, personally, getting minutes in the first two games. We've got two great results and a clean sheet in the Premier League was really important for us, so it's a great start.

"Obviously challenging for the title is what we're going to fight for, but it's just the first game. We're going to take it game by game, and try to put a great season together."

He added: "Obviously it's always nice to get on the score sheet so I'm very happy, but I'm just happy about the win for the team.

"We put a really good performance together and the clean sheet was very important, so it was a really good day for us and I'm just happy with getting three important points."
