Conor Gallagher scored the winning goal as Chelsea fought back from 1-0 down to beat Crystal Palace 2-1 at Selhurst Park
Odsonne Edouard opened the scoring after just seven minutes after he found himself on the end of Jordan Ayew's brilliant cross to get the hosts off to a flying start.
And the lead lasted little more than a half hour as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang got his first in Chelsea blue with a brilliant finish on the turn to equalise before half-time.
