    Enzo Fernandez is making a mess of quite a few passes but I think his intent is to have an effect on the game.

    A Jordan Ayew backheel sets off another Palace attack and Daniel Munoz wants a penalty after getting a little nudge off Thiago Silva. Not enough in that at all.

    Noni Madueke's reaction to losing possession just before Jefferson Lerma unleashed that rocket for Palace was to pretty much move in slow motion and hold a position that had no impact on the play whatever.

    You can see immediately that the Palace bus has been parked.

    Almost a moment of confusion in the Chelsea defence as goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic comes charging out of his area as defender Axel Disasi chases down Tyrick Mitchell's long ball forward.

    Chelsea just cannot problem solve during games. These are professional footballers who can't think for themselves.

    It's been a tentative Crystal Palace in that first 25 minutes, not knowing how the crowd were going to be.

    Lerma gets the ball and you're thinking he should have a crack and he does.

    That strike was in as soon as it left Lerma's boot. Great work from Mitchell to win the ball from Madueke and Lerma picks up the ball and thumps it into the top corner. Where did that come from?

    Jefferson Lerma

    Absolute rocket. Chelsea winger Noni Madueke gives the ball away near the edge of his own box and Jefferson Lerma collects possession and smashes a shot high into the top-right corner.

    That is some goal.

    Good defending, eventually. Chelsea captain Ben Chilwell thinks he's in down the left but Palace's right-back Daniel Munoz does just enough to get back and flick the ball away.

    First goal will win this. If it’s Palace they will defend even more and catch Chelsea on the break; if it’s Chelsea they’ll pick Palace off as they seek an equaliser.

    Oh that's a half decent chance. Palace win the ball back high in the Chelsea half and Jean-Philippe Mateta tries a Thierry Henry special from the left side of the box - minus the whip and power.

    A pretty easy save for Blues keeper Djordje Petrovic.

    The hosts have the ball and keep hold of the ball well until Chris Richards thinks he's Ronald Koeman in his pomp and gives it away with a shanked 40-yard cross-field pass.

    Ben Chilwell motors down the left to get on to Moises Caicedo's cross-field pass and wins a corner for Chelsea.
