Chelsea were held by Crystal Palace as Ebere Eze's wondrous second-half strike was enough for the Eagles to earn a 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League.

Madueke was a whisker away from giving them the lead after 20 minutes when Palace defender Marc Guehi allowed a high ball to drop over his shoulder, allowing Madueke to steal in but he swept wide.
