The ball came back to Gusto and he teed up Palmer to finish into the bottom-left corner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Palmer has been the face of Chelsea on billboards in the United States during the tournament and he lived up to his star billing by scoring again on the half-hour. <a href=\"https:\/\/punchng.com\/breaking-chelsea-beat-psg-3-0-in-final-to-win-club-world-cup\/\">(Punch)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cole Palmer scored two goals and made another as Chelsea stunned Paris Saint-Germain in the final of the Club World Cup on Sunday, beating the European champions 3-0 at the MetLife Stadium to win the first edition of FIFA\u2019s new competition.
