Another frustrating game for Chelsea as they had to settle for a 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace. With this draw, they have slipped up to the fourth position on the Premier League points table and are now far away from the title race.
It’s an alarming situation for the Blues as they need to fix their shortcomings quickly before it gets too late. Anyway, let’s get to our post-match rituals for this game too.

Robert Sanchez (5/10): The goalkeeper was recalled after going down the preference. However, he showed no signs of improvement as he struggled with his ball collection and distribution.
Malo Gusto (6/10): Nothing exciting to talk about, he was just decent enough.
Josh Acheampong (6/10): First start at Chelsea’s defence and was impressive. He could be a good prospect going forward.
Levi Colwill (7/10): Contributed to the side with his solidity and leadership skills.
Marc Cucurella (5/10): Allowed too many crosses to get into the box and couldn’t move forward when needed.
Enzo Fernandez (6/10): A fine display but couldn’t bring a positive result for his side.
Moises Caicedo (5/10): Worked hard but didn’t succeed in restricting the opponent’s movements and breakthroughs.
Pedro Neto (6/10): Tried his best to create something in the final third but was unfortunate.
Cole Palmer (6/10): Scored a beautiful goal to give the Blues a lead early into the game. However, he was also the one who gave away the ball which led to a goal for Crystal Palace.
Nicolas Jackson (4/10): The striker made everyone feel that he would find the back of the net but he wasn’t clinical enough. Missed a massive chance to seal the victory towards the business end of the game.
