Jadon Sancho & Cole Palmer Jadon Sancho & Cole Palmer

Jadon Sancho expressed frustration after Chelsea's 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace, feeling they should have secured the win earlier.

Chelsea took the lead through Cole Palmer's goal from Sancho's assist, but Jean-Philippe Mateta equalized late. Despite controlling much of the game, Chelsea missed several chances to extend their lead, marking their fourth consecutive Premier League game without a win. Sancho emphasized the need to "kill off the game" and finish chances.

Manager Enzo Maresca acknowledged the team's profligacy but remained confident in their attacking play. Maresca also praised debutant Josh Acheampong as Chelsea's standout performer. Crystal Palace earned a deserved point, with manager Oliver Glasner crediting his team for improving in the second half.
