Jorginho nets two Chelsea penalties after captain intervenes

Jorginho scored two penalties — the second after Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta stopped Tammy Abraham taking it — to complete a 4-0 victory over Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Saturday.

Chelsea's lead was secured by Ben Chilwell scoring on his league debut for Chelsea from Abraham's flick-on in the 50th minute and the leftback's cross set up Kurt Zouma for a header in the 66th. Jorginho added the third from the penalty spot in the 78th after Abraham was tripped by Tyrick Mitchell at an empty Stamford Bridge.

Abraham hoped to get on the scoresheet when Kai Havertz was fouled by Mamadou Sakho. But the striker's bid to take the spot kick was overruled by Azpilicueta intervening to hand the ball to Jorginho, who converted in the 82nd.

American forward Christian Pulisic came off the bench in 83rd for his first appearance since recovering from a right hamstring injury sustained in Chelsea's FA Cup final loss to Arsenal in August. Chelsea has seven points from four games and Palace is on six.

2 goals, assist for James Rodríguez as Everton stays perfect

James Rodríguez scored twice and assisted fellow Colombian Yerry Mina's header as Everton beat Brighton 4-2 in the Premier League on Saturday for a fourth successive win at the start of the Premier League season.

Coupled with progress in the League Cup, Everton has made its best start to a season since the 19th century with seven wins out of seven. Everton, which last won the English championship in 1987, is top of the early standings.

Everton has the leading scorer across Europe's top five leagues after Dominic Calvert-Lewin headed the hosts in front in the 16th minute with his ninth goal of the season in all competitions.

The prolific form has earned Calvert-Lewin a first call-up to England but there was less joy for another member of Gareth Southgate's squad — goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.

The England No. 1 was at fault for Neal Maupay's equalizer, failing to hold Leandro Trossard's volley hammered into the turf.

He was grateful to the club's Colombia connection as Rodríguez's free kick presented Mina with his first Goodison Park goal in first-half stoppage time.

Rodríguez then took his tally to three goals since signing from Real Madrid with a pair of farpost finishes in the second half from crosses by Richarlison's replacement, Alex Iwobi, and Abdoulaye Doucoure.

Yves Bissouma volleyed in a late consolation for Brighton, which has three points from four games.
