Events

Match Events

  • 0' The wait is over. Crystal Palace FC get us underway at .
  • 5' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 10' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Jeffrey Schlupp suffering a number of foals already.
  • 15' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 20' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. James Tomkins made 324 appearances and scored 5 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 25' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 25 minutes.
  • 30' Both keepers have barely been tested. Chelsea FC and Crystal Palace FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 32' Alvaro Morata does the damage! The net is bulging and Chelsea FC surge ahead!
  • 37' It’s high time Maurizio Sarri made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 42' Chelsea FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Crystal Palace FC backline.
  • 47' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 52' Marcos Alonso, a Spain , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 53' Andros Townsend makes no mistake. The score reads 1-1 and Crystal Palace FC are in front.
  • 58' The 38-year-old James McArthur has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 63' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 64' Eden Hazard is ready to make an impact after coming on for Willian at the 64 minute mark.
  • 65' Brilliant from the forward! Alvaro Morata makes it 2-1 with a superb finish on 65.
  • 70' Pedro does the damage! The net is bulging and Chelsea FC surge ahead!
  • 71' Another substitution for Crystal Palace FC to replace Max Meyer by Jordan Ayew on 71 minute.
  • 76' Chelsea FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 80' Fresh legs for Chelsea FC! Fabregas comes on to replace Jorginho.
  • 85' The travelling Crystal Palace FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 86' A moment of madness from Luka Milivojevic on 86 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Crystal Palace FC will be frustrated.
  • It finishes all square. Chelsea FC and Crystal Palace FC share the spoils 3-1.
