Events
Match Events
- 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Selhurst Park!

- 6' Goal! Olivier Giroud scores his 100 goal in 419 matches.
- 8' The Crystal Palace FC bench stirs into life. Gary Cahill is withdrawn and Mamadou Sakho gets his opportunity.
- 13' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 18' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Crystal Palace FC that had 336 games and scored 395 goals.

- 27' Against the run of play, Christian Pulisic has scored! This game has turned on its head.

- 34' A stunning finish from Wilfried Zaha — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 35' Crystal Palace FC player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
- 40' Kurt Zouma has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 45' Ruben Loftus-Cheek has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 17 appearances with only 0 goals this season.

- 65' The supporters are chanting for Ruben Loftus-Cheek. He replaces Ross Barkley on 65 minute.
- 70' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Billy Gilmour made 419 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 71' What a strike from Tammy Abraham! The score is 1-3.
- 72' A goal from the Belgium international Christian Benteke! He fires home on 72 to make it 2-3!
- 77' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Crystal Palace FC and Chelsea FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 80' Billy Gilmour makes way for Jorginho at the 80 minute mark. A tactical switch from Chelsea FC.
- 85' The travelling Chelsea FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 89' A change in the Crystal Palace FC ranks — Luka Milivojevic exits the field as Max Meyer enters on 89.
- The points are shared — Crystal Palace FC 2-3 Chelsea FC. Honours even.
