Newest signing Jadon Sancho was introduced to the Stamford Bridge crowd before kick-off to little more than polite applause. With 12 more arrivals this summer, player unveilings have become somewhat run of the mill. Celebrations these days are reserved for those that can be persuaded to leave the club, given the size of the current squad.
Palmer remained unplayable and Will Hughes, already booked, should have received a second yellow card for another foul on his tormentor on the edge of the penalty area. Also carrying a knock, the Crystal Palace midfielder was replaced five minutes after the restart, and it changed the whole tone of the game.
Suddenly, the visitors were carving Chelsea open and Robert Sánchez was relieved to see Daichi Kamada’s fierce 18-yard shot in the 77th minute fly away to safety after it slithered through his fingers on the goalline.
