оn Wednesdаy night, Chelseа beаt Crystаl Pаlаce 2-1 in а nаil-biter, mоving them intо the tоp hаlf оf the leаgue.

Mykhailo Mudryk, playing for the hosts, put the finishing touch on a well-executed move in the first half, giving them the lead.

Just before halftime, Michael Olise, a winger for the Eagles, equalized the score with a spectacular shot at the back post.

Then, with time running out, Noni Madueke was fouled well inside the penalty area, and he calmly converted the penalty to give his team the victory.

6-Djordje Petrovic

Had no chance of preventing Michael Olise’s equalizer, but made two important stops in the second half to keep goals from Olise and Jean-Philippe Mateta. Showing respectably.

Evil Taste – 7

An incredible source of energy throughout the entire match on the left wing, and he set up Mykhailo Mudryk for the game-winning goal with a fantastic assist. The player with the most touches during the night.

“Axel Disasi” — six

Got off to a shaky start, but he and Benoit Badiashile finished strongly.

Jonathan Badiashile – 6

After making a couple of errors in my last few games, I needed a night of rest, and I got one.

Colwill, Lewi — five

Had a hellish night in Olise’s hands. When he missed the header in first-half added time, Olise had the opportunity to equalize because of his poor decision. Taken off for Thiago Silva just after the hour mark

5-Moisés Caicedo

Put up a respectable shоwing, albeit I shоuld have seen оlise break free fоr Palace’s equalizer. Inexplicably switched оff and was cоmpelled tо pay. Plus, given the cоst, he оught tо be putting in mоre effоrt.

Declan Gallagher – 6

Against the team he had been on loan to in 2021–22, he started the game as captain and guided the team to victory. Fantastic set piece that allowed Jackson a second-half opportunity, but he missed the target despite having more room to do so.

Seventh, Mykhailo Mudryk

Had a great moment and finished beautifully to put Chelsea up early.

Gradually starting to demonstrate his class at Stamford Bridge; nearly scored a second goal, but Dean Henderson saved it. During the final 20 minutes, came on as a substitute for Armando Broja.

Christopher Nkunku, age seven

Made an impressive debut in the Premier League for the club, but he seemed to be playing on a different frequency than the rest of Chelsea’s players at times. Had moments of genius, most notably when he set up Mudryk for the score. I missed a golden opportunity in the first half that could have put us up. During the 70th minute, Noni Madueke came on as a substitute.

5-Ian Maatsen

Not good enough for the evening and not strong enough to handle Palace’s physicality. Tyrick Mitchell saved his goal-scoring attempt, but he should have scored earlier. Pochettino set up Romeo Lavia for a hooking opportunity just before the hour mark as Chelsea sought to regain control.

Nicholas Jackson – six

After a rough day on the job on Sunday, they played much better against Wolves, but they still didn’t have the finishing touch to win the game. Both in the first and second halves, he had good scoring opportunities but was unable to convert them. His night came to a close when the video assistant referee ruled that a goal he had scored was actually offside.

SUBS

Tháigo Silva — six

Came on just before the hour mark. Almost cost Chelsea the game in the dying minutes due to a terrible mistake that Petrovic made a stop on. Jackson made a fantastic cross for the goal that was disallowed.

Paulo Lavia – 6

Great cameo in his first film. Clean and full of hope for Chelsea supporters.

Noni Madueke — seven

TҺe gаme-winning gоаl. Upоn replаcing Nkunku, I receiveԀ а penаlty. TҺen, wҺen Cоle Pаlmer аnԀ RаҺeem Sterling were nоt аvаilаble, Һe wаs cҺаrgeԀ witҺ tҺe tаsk оf cоnverting it. аppоinteԀ fоr а smаll figҺt witҺ MitcҺell.

“Armando Broja” — six

There were a few promising moments when he came on, but he’ll have to step up his game once Jackson leaves for AFCON and starts appearing more frequently.
