  • 99'
    FT: Chelsea 1-0 Crystal Palace!! All over at the Bridge and Havertz's 64th minute header was the difference. Palace had numerous chances to score and Kepa made some terrific saves. Havertz missed a sitter at 1-0 and Chelsea were hanging on in the last 10 minutes. Not convincing, but job done for Potter's side. Thanks for joining us and see you again soon!

    HT: Chelsea 0-0 Crystal Palace! Half-time at the Bridge and a draw is fair. Chelsea started the better, but Palace grew as the half went on and both teams had good opportunities.

    What a save by Kepa to deny Mitchell!! A ball into the box isn't dealt with by the Chelsea defenders and Mitchell takes advantage of the pinball to shoot acrobatically from close range!
  • 17'
    After five or 10 minutes of Chelsea domination, the game is more even now.
  • 15'
    Palace make a move towards Chelsea's goal and Ayew's pass looking for Eze is a poor one.
