<!--Article Start--> <h3 style="text-align: justify"><strong>Pedro Rodriguez scored on his debut as Chelsea FC survived captain John Terry's dismissal to beat West Bromwich Albion 3-2 on Sunday and claim their first win of the season.</strong></h3> <p style="text-align: justify">Home side West Brom, who left out star striker Saido Berahino following a failed bid from Tottenham Hotspur, scored twice through James Morrison, who also had a penalty saved by Thibaut Courtois.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">But Jose Mourinho's visitors held on for victory after Pedro had opened the scoring and had a hand in Chelsea FC's second, scored by Diego Costa to make it 2-0.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">Cesar Azpilicueta scored a rare goal to give Chelsea FC a 3-1 half-time lead after Morrison had reduced the arrears.</p> <h3 style="text-align: justify"><strong>John Terry was sent off for a professional foul on Salomon Rondon</strong></h3> <p style="text-align: justify">And Terry, who was substituted at half-time against Manchester City last weekend, lasted just 54 minutes before he was dismissed for a professional foul on Salomon Rondon.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">Morrison then headed in his second goal to set up a tense finish, but Chelsea held on.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">Costa fired the game's first real chance wide for Chelsea FC in the opening minutes.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">But the home side made an energetic start and were rewarded with a penalty in the 13th minute when Nemanja Matic was adjudged to have tripped Callum McManaman, although the visitors were upset with referee Mark Clattenburg's decision.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">Courtois came to his side's rescue, however, as he saved with his trailing leg as he dived to stop Morrison's drilled, low effort from the spot.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">Albion should have led on 18 minutes, too, when Craig Dawson rose highest to meet a Morrison free-kick, but sent his header over the bar.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">And they were punished on 20 minutes when Pedro began to repay his transfer fee, believed to be in the region of A?21.2 million ($33.2 million, 30 million euros).</p> <p style="text-align: justify">The Spain international, formerly of Barcelona, exchanged passes on the edge of the penalty area with Eden Hazard and netted the opening goal with the aid of a deflection off Gareth McAuley.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">It was 2-0 10 minutes later when Pedro turned provider as his side broke from a West Brom corner.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">He collected a pass from Willian and tried a cross-shot, which was turned in from close range by Costa.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">Albion were back in the game within five minutes when Morrison made up for his earlier miss with a fine, low finish.</p> <h3 style="text-align: justify"><strong>James Morrison missed a penalty and then scored twice</strong></h3> <a href="http://www.thehardtackle.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/04894692.jpg"><img class=" wp-image-201622 aligncenter"

15 yards after record signing Salomon Rondon, making his full debut, did well to help a cross by James McClean into Morrison's path.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">Willian should have made it 3-1 on 39 minutes, but he was guilty of a glaring miss as he fired wide from a pull-back by Pedro.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">However, Chelsea FC's third goal arrived three minutes before half-time from the unlikely figure of full-back Azpilicueta.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">He finished well after Costa had held off a robust challenge from McAuley to control a pass from Cesc Fabregas and tee up his Spain team-mate.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">Terry was given his marching orders nine minutes into the second half when he was judged to have pulled Rondon back as the Venezuelan raced onto a fine through-ball by Morrison.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">Five minutes later the hosts reduced the arrears again with Morrison claiming his second goal of the game.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">He produced a deft header to divert a cross by Callum McManaman past Courtois and into the top-right corner.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">Rondon dragged a shot just wide for West Brom from the edge of the area after a corner and McManaman looked capable of levelling when his clever footwork engineered a shooting chance, but he bent his effort just wide.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">Costa sent a shot over the crossbar with his final touch before being substituted following a clever Chelsea FC move.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">And his replacement, Radamel Falcao, missed the target by a long way with his first touch after being set up by Pedro.</p> . <p style="text-align: justify">Late on Chelsea FC hit West Brom on the counter-attack and Hazard fired just wide and then Brunt blasted just over for the hosts.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">In stoppage time, Rondon had a scrambled effort blocked by Courtois.</p> <p
