Conor Gallagher reacts after scoring Chelsea's winner vs ex-loan club Crystal Palace

Conor Gallagher joked his first Chelsea goal just "had to come against Crystal Palace " after he scored the late winner against his former club to seal a vital 2-1 win.

The 22-year-old, who spent last season on loan at Selhurst Park, delivered the knockout blow as he crashed home a 90th minute winner to earn Graham Potter his first win as Chelsea boss. With the scores level, Gallagher came inside onto his favourite right foot before curling the ball into the top corner.

It was a fine moment for Gallagher, who claimed Palace's Player of the Year award for his performances last season. Now, back at his parent club, Gallagher showed new boss Potter what he is all about with a terrific strike - his first for the Blues.
