Crystal Palace have claimed their first goals and points of the Premier League season thanks to a shock 2-1 win over Chelsea at Selhurst Park.
The Eagles took the lead in the 11th minute through Yohan Cabaye’s effort, which deflected off Cesar Azpilizueta and bobbled into the visitors’ net.
Antonio Conte’s charges were level within seven minutes, however, as a corner was badly dealt with by the Palace defender and allowed Tiemoue Bakayoko to head home.
The hosts went on to restore the lead on the stroke of half time as the returning Wilfried Zaha picked up Mamadou Sakho’s ball, took Azpilicueta out of the game and slotted beyond Thibaut Courtois.
