Crystal Palace 1-1 Chelsea: Blues Held As Winless Run Extends To Four Games

Chelsea's winless run in the league extended to four matches after drawing at Palace 1-1. Jean-Philippe Mateta equalized in the 82nd for Palace, cancelling out Cole Palmer's opener. Chelsea has drawn twice and lost twice since Dec. 22, damaging a title bid that had been picking up some steam — even if manager Enzo Maresca never accepted his team was a realistic challenger.
