CHANCE PALMER!! The free-kick is touched to Palmer who wraps his foot around the ball clearing the wall down the left side, it clips the post and comes back out into play. Nkunku can only divert the rebound into Walton’s arms.

Free-kick in a very dangerous position for Chelsea. Joao Felix deftly touches the ball on for Nkunku in a central spot, he shifts it out of his feet but is felled just outside the box. Palmer, Joao Felix and Fernadez are over it.

Madueke carries the ball down the right, he has two Ipswich players for company, as he continues to drag it past them, he runs out of room and it goes out harmlessly for a goal kick.

DELAP AGAIN SO CLOSE!! Hutchinson blocked Cucurella’s clearance, it fell invitingly to Delap on the right side of the area, he swung his right boot on the half volley and it stung the palms of Chelsea keeper Jorgensen.
