Chelsea claimed their first victory under Graham Potter after Conor Gallagher came off the bench to shatter Crystal Palace with a superb last-minute winner.

The wait was worth it as far as Potter was concerned. Chelsea fell behind to an early goal from Odsonne Édouard and were fortunate not to lose Thiago Silva to a red card during the first half. Yet Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang equalised with his first goal for his new side and Potter won his first league game in charge after Gallagher, who excelled on loan for Palace last season, bent in a magnificent shot from 20 yards.
