The Blues manager's odd in-game move is obviously working though, as Chelsea remain unbeaten in their 11 Premier League matches this season

Chelsea kept their unbeaten start to the Premier League season alive with their 3-1 victory over Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge on Sunday .

The Blues moved above Liverpool and up to second in the table with the win achieved courtesy of a brace from Alvaro Morata and a strike from Pedro, ensuring that the equaliser Andros Townsend scored for the visitors didn't matter much come the final whistle.

Key to the Blues performance was the display of midfielder Jorginho again, with the Brazil-born Italy international - a key summer signing - dictating play and earning himself a breather when he was replaced late on by Cesc Fabregas.

Morata struck twice in Chelsea's win

The former Napoli man has assumed a key role for Blues boss Maurizio Sarri since he linked up with him again in the summer, and in fact there is probably no-one in football who knows Sarri better.

And he knows him so well that he knows all about his superstitions, including one really odd one.

Sarri performs a strange superstition

"It’s really easy to understand him you know," Jorginho explained to Chelsea TV prior to Sunday's fixture.

"The way he seems - that’s how he is. He has no secrets. He’s a simple guy. He has his beliefs, his superstitions. Everyone does.

"For example, he won’t touch the match ball ever. Even if we’re losing, the ball goes out and we need to get the ball back in play as fast as possible, he won’t go near it. No way – he won’t touch it.

"Then there are other things too, but that’s normal, no?"

Jorginho was at the heart of the win

Not quite, Jorginho, no.

But it seems to be working for the Italian coach, as his unbeaten run of 11 matches has set a new record for a new manager in their first season in the Premier League.

Whether he can keep it up remains to be seen, but don't expect to see him touching the ball soon!

what is the most frightening thing that you have ever seen happen in life

It’s a man looking over his family during the British Raj in India. There were many cases of cannibalism and he feared someone would try to kill and eat his children or wife. I acknowledge this is a difficult picture to look at— but I included it for a reason. Many people in the US/West aren’t even aware of the terrible famines that swept through India and which are comparable to the holocaust in deaths (an estimated ~30 million people have died in famines in India). This was taken from the Great Famine of 1876–1878, which was far worse than the infamous Bengal Famine. It was caused by a crop failure/drought and was exacerbated by the crown’s export of wheat abroad. In total, 5.6 - 9 million people died (it’s hard to get exact figures). And within huge statistics like these, are forgotten stories. These are individuals and families, who slowly faced the despair of knowing they had no food and would have no food in the near future. They faced the horror of knowing there was

WHAT A HUSBAND TOLD HIS WIFE THE NIGHT OF THEIR MARRIAGE/ WEDDING

My wife, everyone has gone home. The music is quiet, the celebration is over. Our wedding was beautiful but it is now in the past. We have finished the wedding/marriage, it is now time to build our marriage. All that is left now is the two of us… What we will become tomorrow, starts from tonight. Our life is no longer the same. There was a day you put on one red dress… You looked so beautiful in it. That Day I wanted to just touch you! We were in the Cinema and I was so tempted. I wanted to just take you inside the toilet and kiss you but I couldn’t. Guess what? Now I have you forever, I can do that everyday. Before I take off your cloth and make love to you… let me tell you few things. I have nothing to hide from you from this day. My phone, you can use it like your own. You can access my facebook, my twitter and my Instagram From today, I have become a child. For the past five years of my life, I have been a man. I wake myself up in the morning, sometimes I go to bed hung

MARRIED OR NOT, YOU SHOULD READ This life moment

“When I got home that night as my wife served dinner, I held her hand and said, I’ve got something to tell you. She sat down and ate quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes. Suddenly I didn’t know how to open my mouth. But I had to let her know crewhat I was thinking. I want a divorce. I raised the topic calmly. She didn’t seem to be annoyed by my words, instead she asked me softly, why? You know I avoided her question. This made her angry. She threw away the chopsticks and shouted at me, you are not a man! That night, we didn’t talk to each other. She was weeping. I knew she wanted to find out what had happened to our marriage. But I could hardly give her a satisfactory answer; she had lost my heart to Jane. I didn’t love her anymore. I just pitied her! With a deep sense of guilt, I drafted a divorce agreement which stated that she could own our house, our car, and 30% stake of my company. She glanced at it and then tore it into pieces. The woman who had spent ten
