Crystal Palace 1-1 Chelsea: Blues Winless Run Continues

Chelsea's frustrating start to the 2025 Premier League season continued on Saturday as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.  

The Blues, who had been touted as potential title contenders, have now gone four games without a win, dropping valuable points in their pursuit of Liverpool.  

Chelsea started brightly and took the lead in the 14th minute through Cole Palmer, who finished off a brilliant run by Jadon Sancho. The visitors created several more chances in the first half but failed to extend their lead.  

Palace grew into the game in the second half and were rewarded with an equaliser in the 82nd minute when Jean-Philippe Mateta scored from close range.  

The draw leaves Chelsea nine points behind leaders Liverpool, who have a game in hand.
