Facing opponents in a series of four straight defeats without scoring, Chelsea’s fans could have been forgiven to wait for a simple afternoon when Palmer went up to get his 13th sentence for the club.

Another moment of individual brilliance – this time by the tireless Cucurella – expressed the conservation of Chelsea a surprise result, although they required only one point to move over the city.
There was also the odd view of the outside, unhappy, unhappy Palmer replaced during the second half, as the 22 -year -old’s course without scoring in all the races that were extended to nine matches.
Palmer might have to be released Enzo Fernandez, who also sent a shot to the side net after breaking up for a very promising opportunity.
