Chelsea's big spending on new players has yet to translate into consistent victories in the Premier League. Despite a resounding 6-2 win over Wolverhampton in their previous match, Chelsea could only manage a 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge. This result leaves Chelsea with just one win from their first three league matches this season.
Crystal Palace, who spent the summer transfer window trying to retain their key players, secured a valuable point thanks to Eberechi Eze's superb curling shot in the 53rd minute. In contrast, Chelsea splurged around $290 million on 12 new signings, with only Pedro Neto starting against Palace. The opening goal for Chelsea came from Nicolas Jackson, who tapped in a pass from Cole Palmer in the 25th minute.
