Ghanaian youngster Jesurun Rak-Sakyi marked his senior professional debut in the English Premier League on Saturday afternoon against Chelsea FC at Stamford Bridge.
The former Chelsea player who was released by the club two years ago was handed his first ever senior appearance by French manager and Arsenal legend Patrick Vieira against the European champions.
Palace could not stand Chelsea in all aspect of the game and were hugely dominated by the Blues right from the blast of the whistle by the referee.
Marcos Alonso opened the scoring for the home team with a pinpoint free-kick to give the home team a deserving lead after a total dominance on the day.
United States of America captain, Christian Pulisic made it 2-0 to the hosts before heading to the break after pouncing on a loose ball inside the box.
It was more of the same in the second half as Chelsea continued with their total dominance in the second half before youngster Trevoh Chalobah scored the icing on the cake goal with a pile driver from the outside of the box to give Chelsea a comfortable opening day win over London rivals, Palace.
In the last quarter of the match, the 18-year-old Ghanaian was introduced to the match and took the place of Jairo Riedewald to play last 15 minutes or so for the Eagles.
He showed glimpses of brilliance the few times he got on the ball and showed composure despite his team trailing by three goals.
