Crystal Palace 2-1 Chelsea

Watch highlights from Selhurst Park, where Crystal Palace earned their first league win of the season with a 2-1 victory over Chelsea.

Palace received a stroke of luck in scoring their first league goal in five months, ending a drought of 731 minutes stretching back to last season.

The scruffy strike was recorded as a Cesar Azpilicueta own goal, but Palace had one of their own when the excellent Wilfried Zaha struck before half-time as Palace won for the first time this season at the eighth attempt.

Chelsea, who had equalised through Tiemoue Bakayoko, had been seeking to respond from the loss to Manchester City ahead of Wednesday's Champions League clash with Roma. The Blues are now nine points behind leaders City after a poor performance.

Palace, who won at Chelsea in April, had not scored a league goal since Patrick van Aanholt's last-minute strike in the 4-0 win over Hull on May 14.

Their dismal start to the season was expected to continue against the champions, but the return of Zaha from injury galvanised his team-mates.
