Eberechi Eze’s brilliant goal earned Crystal Palace their first point of the season in a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea initially took the lead in the 24th minute through Raheem Sterling’s close-range finish. However, Palace responded in the second half when Eze unleashed a spectacular long-range effort, leaving Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sánchez with no chance.
The draw marks an important result for Crystal Palace, who managed to withstand Chelsea’s pressure and secure a well-deserved point on the road. Meanwhile, Chelsea were left frustrated after failing to capitalize on their early dominance, settling for a point in a match they might have expected to win.
