A game short in quality
56:00 – Almost an hour later both sides still take a fairly closed approach. So far it does not show much aggressive quality. 1650213821
Palace wants to attack Chelsea’s highline
53:00 – Every set up so far has gone deep, although Mendy is doing well claiming the ball after a point of tennis with his head in the box. 1650213755
Rudiger shoots
51:00 – As is often the case in a game against Chelsea, Rudiger shoots from 35 yards out. Wide sails. 1650213707
OPPORTUNITY FOR CHELSEA
50:00 – Much better from Tuhel’s side. Loftus-Cheek’s ball finds Werner running behind Palace’s back line, though Kouyate does enough to prevent him from shooting close. 1650213634
The palace was returned
50:00 – Five minutes in the second half and we see the Palace passing halfway. 1650213573
Half an opportunity for Chelsea
48:00 – Mount takes up little space to shoot, but goes off just outside the box. 1650213441
A confident start to Chelsea
46:00 – Early days of course, but Tuhel’s side pushes the ball with much more urgency right now. 1650213385
Back to progress!
Significant improvement is needed from Chelsea.
