Morgan Rogers wasted no time making an impression at his new club, netting just nine minutes into his Chelsea debut as the Blues defeated Real Sociedad 3-1 in a pre-season friendly at Stamford Bridge.

The result also marked a landmark occasion for Chelsea's new head coach Xabi Alonso, who oversaw his first match in charge at the helm of the West London club.

Rogers' early strike set the tone for a commanding Chelsea performance, with the Blues running out comfortable winners on the afternoon — a positive sign for Alonso as he begins to put his stamp on the squad.
