Chelsea vs Crystal Palace LIVE: Premier League result and final score after late Noni Madueke penalty

Chelsea 2-1 Crystal Palace: Madueke’s 89th minute penalty gave Mauricio Pochettino some relief after the Blues looked to be heading for a familiar result

Pochettino on European Super League

An 89th-minute penalty from substitute Noni Madueke earned Chelsea a hard-fought 2-1 home victory over Crystal Palace in the Premier League London derby on Wednesday.

Madueke was brought down by Eberechi Eze and, after waving play on, referee Michael Salisbury was called by VAR to the screen where he signalled a foul.

Palace’s Michael Olise had shown fine skill when unmarked at the far post he chested down Jordan Ayew’s pass and finished deftly past Djordje Petrovic in first-half stoppage time.

The goal cancelled out a 13th-minute strike from Chelsea forward Mykhailo Mudryk who turned in a low cross from Malo Gusto.

MISS! Jackson spurns a sitter! Caicedo and Gallagher combine to split the Palace defence, and Chelsea's Senegalese striker is sent clean through on goal. However, Henderson dives at his feet, and his hurried shot is guided just wide of the right-hand post! So close!

Ayew dwells on the ball for too long in an advanced position, failing to release Mitchell. He then runs into traffic on the edge of the area, so the visitors are obliged to build again.

Now Palace probe around the opposition area, and Ayew eventually releases a low cross from the left that is cleared away by Chelsea's rather nervy defence.

Gallagher decides against pulling the trigger from 25 yards, and Chelsea's patient passing around the perimeter of Palace's box ultimately comes to nothing. The home fans are now growing a little impatient - their team is totally dominating possession but remain level at 1-1.

Chelsea are regaining a modicum of control now, as Palace are forced a few yards back. It looks like the hosts' substitutions have brought about a change on either flank, with Gusto and Disasi filling in.

It's end-to-end at the Bridge! First, Nkunku prompts Henderson to palm away a dangerous cross flashed across Palace's six yard box; then, Olise's deflected shot from the edge of Chelsea's area is gathered by Petrovic.
