Who has narrowly beaten crystal palace in a 2-1 victory for Chelsea, and all thanks go to Gallagher coming up from the bench to save the day.
The match was indeed a tough one especially for crystal palace although they really frustrated Chelsea in the first half, holding up to a 1-1 draw.
Today it's a big day for the man who has promised to break the no.9 jersey curse in Chelsea, in the person of P. Abumeyang who scored his first premier league goal of the season for the new club.
He's goal was superp finish with a beautiful assist from the captain himself Thiago Silva to give Chelsea a balance in the first 45 minutes of the match.
An incident occurred that led to the VAR, checking for a possible red card for Thiago Silva, who was brought down by Ayew on attempt of recovering the ball from him.
But Thiago Silva used his hands to stop the ball from the counter attack and was given a yellow card for the misconduct. And a free kick was awarded to crystal palace.
In the second half, still both sides holding on to the draw on the score line, the young star "Gallagher" found an opportunity in the 90th minutes and pulled the trigger.
And definitely he was so lucky he didn't miss the shot although the goalkeeper had a little touch on the ball but it was still powerful to go into the back of the net.
And with that shot on target, Gallagher have Chelsea the winning against crystal palace and I know he deserved it as well as the club and the fans as well are really happy he took the shot .
Once again congratulations to all the Chelsea fans and of course congrats to Abumeyang for that glorious finish today at the derby.
And also want to wish all Nigerians a happy independence day.
