The legendary club from London is on the tough path of trying to restore its former glory. They are not very successful yet, but the win against Crystal Palace is a good sign for Chelsea fans and important for the Premier League standings.

Not a great start

It had not started well for the London club, though. Crystal Palace scored an incredible goal from distance in the 30' minute of the first half of the match. Jefferson Lerma took the ball in chaos and, without any hesitation, struck it with the utmost precision, care, and strength. The ball landed in the Chelsea's net.

Equalizer in the first minutes of the second half

The Chelsea fans had to keep their patience to the second half. It started very well though. In the 47th minute of the match, Gallagher scored a tough goal from inside the penalty area after receiving a decent cross to the center of the field.

Conor Gallaher - Chelsea's hero

The rest of the match was, as per usual, a tough struggle for both Chelsea players and fans. The deal was sealed again by Conor Gallagher, who, after receiving a great ball from Palmer, hit it from abouts of the penalty area and landed it in the bottom left corner of Crystal Palace's goal.

The match was finished off by Argentinian star Enzo Fernandez, who set the result of the match at 3 -1.

Chelsea London is now in the middle of the Premier League standings, fighting against Wolves and Brighton to keep their position.
