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.

OFF THE LINE! At the end of a quick counter initiated by Mudryk, Maatsen slips through into the area and guides the ball under Henderson - however, Mitchell comes to Crystal Palace's rescue! The full-back sprints back to clear the ball away from near his goal line - that's a close escape for the Eagles!

Rather hopefully, Andersen steps forward and tries his luck from over 25 yards out, shooting from a central position but seeing his attempt comfortably saved by Petrovic.

On the right side of the box, just a few feet outside the area, Olise steps up to the free-kick he won and then ripples the side-netting of Petrovic's goal. It was a good effort, but the Chelsea goalkeeper was not too concerned.

Palace enjoy some early possession inside Chelsea's half, but it comes to very little until Olise's run past Colwill on the right is ended by the Chelsea defender pulling back his opponent and conceding a 20-yard free-kick.

Although 26-year-old Nkunku makes his first start today, Chelsea have still named their youngest-ever Premier League starting XI (23 years, 21 days). It's also the youngest side named by any top-flight team since Manchester Utd against Crystal Palace in May 2017.
