World champions Chelsea draw blank in Palace stalemate
In a match between world champions Chelsea and Crystal Palace, both teams ended in a goalless draw. Palace was denied an early goal due to a VAR review that found Marc Guehi obstructing the Chelsea wall.
Despite the home side's blunt attack, new Chelsea signing Estevao came closest to scoring the winning goal. Palace's defense, led by key duo Guehi and Eze, held strong throughout the match.
Eze, who has been linked with Liverpool and Tottenham, started the game amidst mounting speculation about his future. The stalemate highlighted the defensive prowess of both teams, with Chelsea unable to break through Palace's solid defense.
