London, UK — August 17, 2025 | Chelsea were left frustrated on Sunday after being held to a goalless draw by Crystal Palace in a tense Premier League clash at Selhurst Park.
The Blues dominated possession for most of the encounter but failed to convert their superiority into goals. Raheem Sterling and Nicolas Jackson had clear chances to break the deadlock, yet Palace’s defense stood firm, with goalkeeper Dean Henderson pulling off vital saves to keep the visitors at bay.
Manager Mauricio Pochettino’s side displayed composure in midfield but struggled to find the decisive breakthrough in the final third. Palace, under Oliver Glasner, stayed compact at the back and looked dangerous on the counter, occasionally testing Chelsea’s backline.
The result means Chelsea’s search for attacking consistency continues, while Palace can take pride in their defensive discipline and resilience against one of the league’s top contenders.
Supporters at Selhurst Park witnessed a fiercely contested match that showcased defensive organisation over attacking flair, as both sides ultimately settled for a share of the points.
