Gallagher, the former Chelsea player, made a significant impact against his old club by scoring two impressive goals in the second half.

Despite a recent FA Cup victory over Aston Villa, Chelsea struggled to find their rhythm against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. However, Gallagher’s brilliant brace turned the tide in Chelsea’s favor, leading them to a crucial 3-1 victory.

In the first half, Chelsea’s attempts to dominate possession were thwarted when Jefferson Lerma capitalized on a mistake by Noni Madueke to score a sensational goal.

Chelsea’s lackluster response before halftime was evident, with Gallagher’s dragged shot as their only notable attempt on goal. However, during an extended halftime due to technical difficulties, Chelsea came alive.

Just 81 seconds into the second half, Gallagher capitalized on a cross from Malo Gusto and clinically finished past Palace goalkeeper Dean Henderson.
