Chelsea can breathe thanks to Havertz and Gallagher

If Jürgen Klopp’s Liverpool experience a test in this Premier, The same thing happens in Graham Potter’s Chelsea, but this Sunday, where the Stamford Bridge club paid tribute to Gianluca Vialli and presented Mudryk, he breathed a sigh of relief with his victory in the London derby against Patrick Vieira’s Crystal Palace (1-0). It was Kai Havertz, after several failed chances on his part and that of his teammates, who decided the match on such an emotionally charged afternoon. That goal cost Chelsea their first victory so far in 2023.

And the truth is that Chelsea will have a lot of trouble to get those three important points against an inaccurate Crystal Palace in a match where both goalkeepers were inspired, both Kepa of Potter’s men and Guaita of men of Vieira, in their interventions.

It was Conor Gallagher, who played on loan at Crystal Palace, the player who, to a lesser extent than Mason Mount, most disrupted the Selhurst Park team with his raids. The most active and sparkling, despite how hard Vieira’s team tried to guard him. Hakim Ziyech started high, came down and came back again.

Chelsea started strongly, but Crystal Palace also had stretches where they outplayed their rivals. Kepa had to shine with a shot from Michael Olise. The ‘blues’ goalkeeper was not short of work, saving his team in the 85th minute with a great save from a shot by Doucouré.

In 64′, after a corner, Havertz scored after receiving the ball from Ziyech. Graham Potter’s whiteboard works. Crystal Palace reversed an effort to at least level the score, but between their lack of success and Kepa’s inspiration the victory went to a Chelsea (10th) in a dire situation and reached 28 points which Liverpool (9th) has. He suffered a lot to defeat Potter’s team. As he Chelsea and Liverpool are now on 10 points from the Champions League place.
