Chelsea and Crystal Palace played out a 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon with Nicolas Jackson and Eberechi Eze both getting on the score sheet.
Jackson opened the scoring for the home side after 25 minutes. Chelsea broke forward against Crystal Palace with Cole Palmer playing a ball into the penalty area.
Goalkeeper Dean Henderson couldn't react quickly enough to the speed of the attack, with Jackson picking up the pass and tapping in at the back post.
Eze hit back in the second half, curling an outstanding long-range strike into the bottom right corner of the goal to pull the visitors level.

Things looked good for Chelsea when they went 1-0 up against Crystal Palace on Sunday
But the Eagles hit back thanks to a curling finish from Eberechi Eze (second from the left)
CHELSEA (4-2-3-1)
Robert Sanchez - 6
Made a solid save from Wharton in the first half and couldn't do anything about Eze's stunning goal, but he almost let a late Kamada effort slip through his hands.
Malo Gusto - 7.5
Was extremely bright in the first half and showed signs that he is fast-becoming one of Chelsea's most reliable players. Pulled up with a worrying injury that Maresca will hope isn't too serious.
Wesley Fofana - 7
It's great to see the Frenchman getting up to speed more every week after missing the whole of last season through injury. Developing a promising partnership with Colwill.
Levi Colwill - 7.5
Faced a battle up against Mateta, but dominated Palace's striker. Also set up the goal when he stepped in to win a challenge, before feeding Madueke, who burst away.
Marc Cucurella - 7
Given rough treatment from Palace fans due to his past as a Brighton player, but coped well and has rewarded his manager's faith in recent weeks.
Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez made two saves but was well beaten by Eze's strike
Ex-Brighton star Marc Cucurella played quite well despite being booed by the Palace fans
Levi Colwill played well defensively and he also helped to set up the game's opening goal
Malo Gusto was one of Chelsea's best players until he was forced off with an injury issue
Moises Caicedo - 6.5
Broke up play well, although Chelsea's midfield is still too easy to play through at times when Romeo Lavia isn't a part of it.
Enzo Fernandez - 5
Neat and tidy in possession, but the Argentine lacks the athleticism and tenacity in defensive situations as Palace enjoyed plenty of joy on the break.
Noni Madueke - 7
Missed a couple of golden chances, but Madueke is so exciting when running at pace and played a crucial role in Jackson's goal. Worthy of his England call-up, but he did fade in the second half.
Cole Palmer - 7.5
At the heart of everything Chelsea do and oozes class. Playing centrally certainly brings the best out of him and added another assist to his name. Did grow increasingly frustrated as his impact faded though.

Noni Madueke, after a hat-trick at Wolves last week, had chances to score again on Sunday
Cole Palmer impressed for the home side in a central creative roll and he produced an assist
Pedro Neto - 6.5
Showed exciting signs on his full Premier League debut for Chelsea and stretched the game on the left, but lacked the final quality.
Nicolas Jackson - 7
The talk all summer was about Chelsea needing a new striker, but their current No 9 hasn't started the season badly at all with his second goal in three Premier League games.
However, he missed two huge chances in injury time which means the critics won't go away.
Substitutes
Mykhailo Mudryk (on for Malo Gusto, 73 mins) - 6
Always looks exciting when he gets on the ball, but struggled to impact the game.
Joao Felix (on for Pedro Neto, 57 mins) - 6
Neat and tidy as always, but his tendency to come inside into congested areas meant Palace dealt with him easily.
Christopher Nkunku (on for Noni Madueke, 86 mins) - N/A
Manager: Enzo Maresca - 6.5
Will be extremely frustrated at his side's inability to finish after they created enough chances to win. Needs to get the midfield balance right but made bold changes to impact the game.

CRYSTAL PALACE (3-4-2-1)
Dean Henderson - 9
Made a stunning save on to the bar from Madueke's effort from just a few yards out in the first half, before Henderson added a string of impressive stops, including one right at the death from Jackson. A colossal display.
Nathaniel Clyne - 7
Having somewhat of a career renaissance on the right of a back three under Glasner. Solid all afternoon.
Marc Guehi - 8
A penny for Eddie Howe's thoughts? A brilliant performance from the former Chelsea youth product. One cruyff turn in his own box to glide past Jackson was particularly lapped up by the travelling fans.
Chris Richards - 7
The USA international is another unsung hero in Palace's team. Made some crucial blocks and interceptions.
Daniel Munoz - 8.5
Really solid defensively against Neto, before Munoz also stood up to the challenge of Felix and Mudryk, while he provided a dangerous outlet on the right going forwards. 8.5
Adam Wharton - 7.5
A class act in midfield. It was Wharton's control that led to the ball eventually coming to Eze for his goal. Unfortunate to not be with England over the coming fortnight.
Will Hughes - 5
Lucky not to be sent off, Hughes was exposed by Chelsea's attackers and was hooked shortly after he cynically dragged down Palmer.
Dean Henderson played superbly on Sunday and he pulled off six saves at Stamford Bridge
Marc Guehi was excellent against the club where he spent over a decade in the youth system
Tyrick Mitchell - 7
Had the tough task up against Madueke and generally kept him in check, with the winger's joy mainly coming when Palace were caught out on the break.
Eberechi Eze - 8.5
A simply stunning goal. There was only going to be one outcome when he shifted the ball onto his right foot. Glides away from opponents like they're not there. What a player!
Daichi Kamada - 6.5
Showed some nice touches on just his second Premier League start, although the former Frankfurt and Lazio star didn't always have the end product.
Jean-Philippe Mateta - 6
Battled hard against Chelsea's centre backs and provided an outlet to relieve the pressure. The arrival of Nketiah will ease the reliance on the Frenchman.
Substitutes
Ismaila Sarr (on for Jean-Philippe Mateta, 68 mins) - 6
Lacked the hold-up play of Mateta, but did cause some problems with his pace.
Colombian wing back Daniel Munoz did good work at both ends of the pitch for the visitors
Cheick Doucoure (on for Will Hughes, 50 mins) - 7
Brought much-needed defensive bite to Palace's midfield and helped to oversee a shift in momentum.
Jeffrey Schlupp (on for Daichi Kamada, 88 mins) - N/A
Manager: Oliver Glasner - 8
Glasner's side executed his gameplan to perfection and caused Chelsea problems in possession, although they did have Henderson to thank for the point.
