Palace 1-1 Chelsea

Crystal Palace drew 1-1 in a London derby at home to Chelsea.

Oliver Glasner's men were worthy of a point at Selhurst Park and are now unbeaten in three league matches.

Chelsea got off to a fine start after 14 minutes with Cole Palmer scoring from Jadon Sancho's assist.

The Blues wasted three decent chances to extend their lead going into the half-time interval.

The game opened up in the second half and Palace got their equaliser with eight minutes remaining.

Eberechi Eze slid the ball across goal for Jean-Philippe Mateta to convert from close range.
