💨 Abstract

After returning from the Club World Cup, Chelsea drew 0-0 with Crystal Palace in their Premier League opener. Criticized by Steve Nicol, word Bank players Cole Palmer and João Pedro were particularly praised for poor performances, both described as "invisible." Chelsea had scoring chances through late substitutes but couldn't break the deadlock. Crystal Palace, well-organized under Oliver Glasner, defended resolutely.
