Yohan Cabaye
It was a long time coming but Crystal Palace got their first points of the season with a 2-1 win over Chelsea. Here are the key shots from the game.
Wilfried Zaha started his first game since Huddersfield on the opening day.
Goalkeeper Julian Speroni was recalled in place of the injured Wayne Hennessey.
Palace start the game well and take the lead after Yohan Cabaye's shot is turned in by Cesar Azpilicueta on 11 minutes.
Midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko headed a soft equaliser for Chelsea just seven minutes later.
Zaha puts Palace back in front just before half-time with a low finish past Thibaut Courtois.
Both sides battled it out for another goal but Palace secured a vital 2-1 victory.
Manager Roy Hodgson was delighted to collect his first league win in charge.
As were the jubilant players...
