With the Eagles trailing at Stamford Bridge, Eze lit up the London derby at the beginning of the month, taking full advantage when Chelsea could only half-clear his initial set-piece delivery to the edge of the box.
Cheick Doucouré’s initial effort was blocked out to Eze – who took a touch towards the edge of the box, and swept a wonderful, arcing finish into the top corner to leave Roberto Sanchez grasping at thin air.
The goal inspired a Palace resurgence at Stamford Bridge, and inspired an impressive second-half performance in the eventual 1-1 draw.
