Premier League 2019-20: Chelsea 2-0 Crystal Palace | 5 Hits and Flops

#2 Flop: Wilfred Zaha

Chelsea FC v Crystal Palace - Premier League

Wilfred Zaha was supposed to be the key for Crystal Palace in their hopes of to get any sort of positive result against Chelsea. However, the 26-year-old failed to influence the game to his liking and looked like a frustrated figure on the pitch. Though he was deprived of service by his teammate given the defensive approach of his team, he didn’t help himself by losing the ball on more than one occasion. The Ivorian hasn’t looked like his brilliant old self this season and it was another poor showing at Stamford Bridge by the talismanic forward.

#1 Hit: Christian Pulisic

Chelsea FC v Crystal Palace - Premier League

Christian Pulisic, who struggled to get into Frank Lampard’s starting XI a month ago has now become a crucial part of the team. The 21-year-old has been in terrific form lately, scoring 4 goals in his last two league games, and the American was once again on the scoresheet against Crystal Palace. The former Borussia Dortmund man was their most dangerous player, especially in the first half, and looked like the one to make things happen on the pitch for Chelsea. Pulisic drove forward at every opportunity and his magnificent dribbling skills and close control caused Crystal Palace defenders all sorts of problems. The 21-year-old has started to live up to his lofty price tag and could end up being a fan favourite if he continues to perform like this.
