Chelsea draw blank in Crystal Palace stalemate

  • Chelsea suffered a Club World Cup hangover as they were lucky to escape with a 0-0 draw against Crystal Palace to open their Premier League campaign on Sunday.

  • Crystal Palace were denied an early opener when Eberechi Eze's free-kick was ruled out by a VAR review for Marc Guehi obstructing the Chelsea wall.New Chelsea signing Estevao came closest to snatching a winner for the home side, but the newly-crowned world champions were blunt in attack against a well-organised Palace defence.The Eagles key duo of Guehi and Eze started despite mounting speculation the England internationals are set to join Liverpool and Tottenham, respectively."As long as they are 100 percent committed, they will play as they are so good," said Palace boss Oliver Glasner."They didn't just show they are great footballers, but they are great persons and that's what I expected."Eze thought he had opened the scoring with a blistering free-kick that had too much power for Robert Sanchez.
