Eberechi Eze's second-half equaliser propelled Crystal Palace to their first Premier League point of the season, resulting in a 1-1 draw against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday. Despite a shaky start, Palace bounced back to salvage a point.

Chelsea drew first blood in the 25th minute, when Marc Guehi's error led to Chelsea's Nicolas Jackson scoring. Palace struggled defensively but found their footing in the second half. Eze capitalized on a rebound from Cheick Doucoure's blocked shot, curling it beautifully into the net in the 53rd minute.

Both teams continued to press for a winner. Levi Colwill came close for Chelsea, while Palace's Daichi Kamada forced a fine save. Jackson missed two late chances for Chelsea, and despite eight minutes of stoppage time, the game ended in a stalemate.
