Chelsea have made a great start to this game against Crystal Palace, and they already have their reward with a goal from Nicolas Jackson.
The striker has just poked home to celebrate his new contract. But in reality he had the easiest job of all after the Blues swept the length of the field with another deadly counter attack. Noni Madueke ran into space, he played in Cole Palmer, who flicked it across goal to where both Jackson and Pedro Neto were waiting.
What a way for the Senegal star to mark his new contract!
