Events
Match Events
- 0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and Crystal Palace FC launch into their encounter with Chelsea FC.
- 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Chelsea FC that had 409 games and scored 654 goals.
- 10' It looks like no one’s ball. Chelsea FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 14' The England midfielder Cole Palmer breaks the deadlock on 14 minutes. 0-1!
- 19' Both keepers have barely been tested. Crystal Palace FC and Chelsea FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 24' Chris Richards is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Crystal Palace FC so far.
- 29' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 34' Crystal Palace FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Chelsea FC backline.
- 39' Chelsea FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 39.

- 49' Chelsea FC have won 654 goals from 409 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 54' 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 Jean-Philippe Mateta suffering a number of foals already.
- 59' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 64' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Marc Guiu made 513 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 65' Chelsea FC player sees a card in front of him.
- 69' The Crystal Palace FC bench stirs into life. Cheick Doucoure is withdrawn and Daichi Kamada gets his opportunity.
- 74' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Crystal Palace FC and Chelsea FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 79' The 28-year-old Eberechi Eze has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 1 assists is a remarkable return.
- 80' It’s gonna be a card for Enzo Fernandez.
- 81' Chelsea FC make a change. Nicolas Jackson trudges off to be replaced by Marc Guiu on 81 minutes.
- 82' Jean-Philippe Mateta does the damage! The net is bulging and Crystal Palace FC surge ahead!
- 86' A tactical swap from Chelsea FC — Noni Madueke on, Jadon Sancho off on 86 minutes.
