Chelsea 1-1 Crystal Palace - Eze the star

Crystal Palace players celebrate Eze's equaliser at Chelsea

Crystal Palace have made some good signings this summer but one of their biggest results of the window was to keep hold of Eberechi Eze.

The forward was a big player for the Eagles last season and is even more so now after Michael Olise departed for Bayern Munich.

Against Chelsea, he scored a sublime equaliser, with a curled strike that very few goalkeepers would have been able to save. He could have got a winner too but Chelsea threw players in the way of his shot.

The goal was Eze's first of the season but he could easily have had three or four already, having had a goal disallowed and a shot hit the woodwork in previous games.

The second half was a strong performance by Palace and one they can build on as they look to pick up their first win of the season.
