Marco Palestra has admitted he must improve to succeed at Chelsea after making his first competitive start for the club in a 2-0 Premier League win over Manchester United.
The £47 million summer signing from Atalanta, the first arrival of the Xabi Alonso era, had an injury-hit start to life at Stamford Bridge. Saturday’s (October 31) victory, sealed by Morgan Rogers’ 50th-minute solo goal and Cole Palmer’s penalty after Lisandro Martinez’s red card, was his first start in the competition.
