However, his movement could still be stopped by the Chelsea defenders. A short time later, the home team began to carve out a gap to control the game.
Tammy Abraham and Timo Werner alternately spread the threat to the goal of Vicente Guaita’s Palace. Chelsea had a good chance of beating Tammy Abraham.
Unfortunately, the ball Ambraham received from Ben Chilwell’s corner still flew narrowly from the opponent’s goal. The scoring of the glasses lasted until the break.
Going into the second half, Chelsea tried to regain control of the game. Frank Lampard ordered his players to be aggressive immediately in search of opportunities against the opponent’s goal.
The long-awaited goal finally came in the 50th minute. Ben Chilwell gave Chelsea the lead after using a chaotic ball in front of the opponent’s goal.
The former Leicester City player immediately greeted him with a strong left foot shot. The ball that rolled quickly could not be cleared by the goalkeeper of Palacio Vicente Guaita.
Winning a goal made Chelsea seem more confident in the second half. Kurt Zouma added Chelsea’s lead over Palace. Using Chilwell’s bait, Zouma made a strong header towards the opponent’s goal.
