Chelsea 1-0 Crystal Palace
-snip-
I don't think Chelsea was better in the second half because what I saw was that their ball flow was not going as well as in the first half, and there looked to be a lot of space for Crystal Palace to take advantage of. Their performance needs to improve further, otherwise, Crystal Palace will get points in this match. Even if Chelsea let their guard down and make a mistake, then it will be a chance for Crystal Palace to find their second goal.
I agree with you and for me, the result is final. The match has turned 1-1 at the very extra time, no side seems better, but if one looks at it extensively, Chelsea is better than Cryptal Palace, the issue with them is that they lack the attacking as needed. They also blew away the win of the first half when Crystal Palace scored nothing until the second half. I don't see any goals coming for either side till this match ends with what they are both playing.


I don't want to say Chelsea are better than Crystal Palace in this match, on paper Chelsea should be able to beat the visitors easily, especially since they started this match with a big win over Wolves. How can you say Chelsea are better than Crystal Palace, they failed to get full points at home and the level of the opponents they faced was below them. It was clear that Chelsea performance had declined drastically, they had difficulty scoring the winning goal after Eze equalized in the 53rd minute. Dropping two points at Stamford Bridge was a huge blow for Chelsea, while Crystal Palace were fortunate to avoid defeat.
