EPL: Chelsea held to goalless draw by Crystal Palace

Chelsea draw with Crystal Palace

Chelsea had a disappointing start to their Premier League campaign on Sunday after their match against Crystal Palace ended in a 0-0 draw.

Despite dominating a better part of the second half and creating various scoring chances, Chelsea failed to find the back of the opponents’ net.

While players like Marc Cucurella, Trevor Chalobah, Estevao, and Liam Delap had opportunities to convert, Enzo Maresca’s side ended up picking just a point at the final whistle.

Speaking with Sky Sports after the match, Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez acknowledged that while the game didn’t go their way, the team played well.

“Obviously not the result we wanted, but I think the boys played well.

“The boys created the chances, and at the end of the da,y it is football. We take the clean sheet and we move on to the next one.

“We had two weeks of a quick pre-season, and we got some injuries, but the boys showed up and we kept the clean sheet.

“We have quality on the ball. It was hard to find Moises [Caicedo] and Enzo [Fernandez] with the ball because Crystal Palace were holding a lot in midfield and with the dry pitch as well,” Sanchez said.
