 Chelsea have drawn 1-1 with Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge.

Nicolas Jackson opened the scoring on 25 minutes in what was a fantastic team goal from the Blues. Cole Palmer whipped the ball across the six-yard box and Jackson had the easiest of finishes for his second goal of the season.

However, not too long after the second-half started, Palace were level via a great goal from Eberechi Eze. That is the way it stayed, in what was a fairly even game. 

Robert Sanchez - Couldn't do anything for the goal. 6.

Malo Gusto - Did okay. Made a fine recovery tackle in the second-half on Eze. Struggled going forward a bit. 6.

Wesley Fofana - Played well. Perhaps his best performance since coming back from injury. 6.

Levi Colwill - A physical battle with Jean-Philippe Mateta. Did really well. His role in the Jackson goal is really underrated; he wins it back and plays a fantastic ball to Madueke, who sets off on his charge. 7.

Marc Cucurella - Didn't notice him too much. Not necessarily a bad thing, mind. 6.

Enzo Fernandez - An astonishing ball to Noni Madueke in the first-half but the winger hit the crossbar. Really strong first-half but his performance tailed off in the second. 6.

Moises Caicedo - Played well. One of his better performances this season after what has been a slow start. 6.

Noni Madueke - Misses a great chance on 22 minutes - one you would have 100 per cent backed him to score because of his recent form. Plays a huge part in Jackson's goal - breaking with real speed and play the right pass at the right time. 6.5.

Cole Palmer - So close to scoring after 10 minutes. Sets Jackson up on 25 minutes with a fantastically weighted pass across goal. 7.5.

Pedro Neto - Very quiet. Could not get involved in the game. So unlike him. 5.

Nicolas Jackson - In the right place at the right time for his goal. A poacher's goal. 7.5.

Substitutes

Joao Felix - Comes on before the hour-mark. Quiet when he came on. 6.

Mykhailo Mudryk - Comes on with just under 20 minutes left. Not the desired impact. 6.
