EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Cole Palmer inspired Chelsea to a shock 3-0 FIFA Club World Cup final win against Paris Saint-Germain in New Jersey as the Premier League side became the first winners of the new-look, expanded 32-team tournament.
England forward Palmer scored twice, and created a third for João Pedro, as Chelsea overran the Champions League winners in the first half at MetLife Stadium.
PSG, heavy favourites going into the game following their 4-0 semifinal win against Real Madrid, missed two clear chances before Palmer opened the scoring on 21 minutes.
