Crystal Palace 1-1 Chelsea: Mateta's Equalizer Adds to Chelsea's Frustrations

Chelsea F.C.'s winless streak extended to four Premier League games as Jean-Philippe Mateta scored a late equalizer for Crystal Palace, resulting in a 1-1 draw. Despite taking an early lead, CHE failed to capitalize on several chances, leaving Enzo Maresca’s side with plenty to ponder.

First Half: Palmer Puts Chelsea Ahead

Chelsea FC looked promising in the early stages of the match at Selhurst Park. In the 14th minute, Jadon Sancho orchestrated a slick attacking move, setting up Cole Palmer, who calmly slotted the ball home to give CFC the lead.

However, despite dominating possession, CHE struggled to turn control into clear-cut chances. Palmer’s goal turned out to be Chelsea's only shot on target in the entire match, exposing their inability to break down Palace’s resilient defense.

Second Half: Missed Chances and Mateta’s Late Equalizer

The second half saw Chelsea F.C. miss key opportunities to double their lead. Nicolas Jackson and Josh Acheampong, making his full Premier League debut, squandered golden chances, much to the frustration of Maresca on the sidelines.

Crystal Palace, buoyed by their home crowd, grew in confidence as the game progressed. Their persistence paid off in the 82nd minute when Eberechi Eze delivered a perfectly weighted pass to Jean-Philippe Mateta, who made no mistake from close range to level the score.

The result leaves Palace six points clear of the relegation zone in 15th place, while Chelsea F.C. remains in fourth, with their title aspirations now under significant threat
