Conor Gallagher breaks Crystal Palace hearts with last-gasp Chelsea winner - 6 talking points

Conor Gallagher came off the bench to score a stunning winner for Chelsea against former club Crystal Palace.

Graham Potter took charge of his first Premier League game as Blues boss but it got off to the worst start when Odsonne Edouard opened the scoring after just seven minutes with a thunderous effort. Chelsea escaped further embarrassment in the first half when Thiago Silva avoided a red card despite deliberately handling the ball as Palace threatened another counter-attack.

The Blues, despite not being at their best, then pulled themselves back into the game before the break thanks to Aubameyang's finish. On his first start for the club, the striker latched onto Silva's knock-down to open his account. Gallagher, who starred on loan at Palace last season, then came off the bench to curl home a superb winner in stoppage time.
