EPL: Chelsea Held By Palace After Eze Beauty At Stamford Bridge

Eberechi Eze delivered a stunning equalizer as Crystal Palace earned a 1-1 draw with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea, fresh off a 6-2 victory over Wolves, dominated the first half. Cole Palmer narrowly missed with a shot, while Dean Henderson made a remarkable save from Noni Madueke.

EDITOR’S PICKS

Nicolas Jackson eventually put Chelsea ahead, finishing a swift counterattack by tapping in Palmer’s cross at the near post.

Palace were fortunate not to be down a man when Will Hughes, already on a yellow card, avoided further sanction for a foul on Palmer.

The Eagles equalized shortly thereafter, with Eze curling a superb strike past Chelsea’s goalkeeper Robert Sanchez.

Sanchez later made a crucial save to deny Daichi Kamada’s powerful shot, keeping the game level. Chelsea had a chance to snatch victory in stoppage time, but Jackson’s attempt on goal was thwarted by Henderson.
