Crystal Palace and Chelsea played to a 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge, with Eberechi Eze scoring a second-half equalizer to earn Palace their first point of the Premier League season. Chelsea initially took the lead in the 25th minute through Nicolas Jackson, who converted a cross from Cole Palmer after a swift counter-attack. Despite Chelsea's dominance, particularly in the first half, they were unable to maintain their advantage after Eze curled in a stunning goal in the 53rd minute. The match was marked by a controversial no-call on Palace's Will Hughes, who escaped a second yellow card for a foul. Chelsea's new signing Jadon Sancho watched from the stands, highlighting ongoing hopes for improvement amidst a mixed start to the season. The draw ended Chelsea's streak of 14 consecutive victories against Palace in all competitions.
