Palace fans celebrate after seeing their team record their first win of the season

Palace scored their first goals of the season in a rare 2-1 Selhurst Park victory over last year's champions Chelsea. While the win doesn't take Palace off the foot of the table, it could spark a revival none of us saw coming.

Meanwhile, the loss may prove to Chelsea boss, Antonio Conte that he cannot rely on frontman Michy Batshuayi in the absence of prolific talisman Alvaro Morata. Batshuayi was given a rare Premier League start but only lasted 57 minutes before showing his anger at being substituted for the Spaniard, Pedro.

The 24-year-old offered little up top and posed Palace centre-backs Mamoudou Sakho and Scott Dann very few problems. Conte will hope for Morata's return sooner rather than later and questions remain over Chelsea's depth up front. With the January transfer market still months away, Batshuayi days could be numbered.
