Abraham read the game well to beat Palace’s offside trap in the 52nd minute and met a backheel pass from Willian before shooting low for his 10th league goal of the season. Pulisic ensured Chelsea’s sixth consecutive league win in the 79th with a header when Michy Batshuayi’s shot was deflected and looped into the air. The American didn’t get a Premier League start from August until 26 October, when he took full advantage with a hat trick against Burnley. He followed up a week later with a goal against Watford.
