Morgan Rogers snubbed as only two Chelsea players make Premier League Team of the Week

Palmer was also on the scoresheet in the second half, with the Blues getting off to the best possible start when Joao Pedro found the net after just 31 seconds.

CHELSEA WIN: Xabi Alonso gets the win, but who impressed you most? 📈

Morgan Rogers snubbed from Premier League Team of the Week

Palmer was untouchable all game, and was rightfully included in WhoScored’s Team of the Week from Matchday One as the highest-rated player.

He was joined by Pedro, who picked up the assist for Palmer’s goal as Chelsea’s front three lived up to expectations in their first outing together.

As well as Rogers, there was also no place in the side for Lacroix, who picked up an assist as well as put in a dominant performance at the back too.

Rogers set a record for the most chances created by a player on their Premier League debut, and any fears that he may not instantly deliver because of his price tag were quickly put to bed.

Enough is enough! It’s time to replace Robert Sanchez, but who should Chelsea sign? 😤

He made two more mistakes against Fulham on Monday 🤦‍♂️

It is expected the England international will be rested when the Blues quickly return to action with the EFL Cup tie against Luton Town.

The likes of Estevao Willian and Geovany Quenda are waiting in the wings to make an impression on Xabi Alonso against lower-league opposition.

The front three of Palmer, Rogers and Pedro already have a combined five Premier League goals and assists to their name so far this season, and will be surely picked again when the Premier League returns with a clash against Brighton.
