Nicolas Jackson, a forward for Chelsea, endured a disappointing moment when he squandered a clear opportunity and had a goal disallowed for offside against Crystal Palace.
Conor Gallagher delivered an exquisite pass to the 22-year-old Jackson, giving him a chance to score, but he failed to beat the goalkeeper, much to the dismay of the visiting supporters at Stamford Bridge.
Despite the miss, Jackson’s luck seemed to take a turn for the better a minute later when Thiago Silva provided an impressive cross, allowing Jackson to finish beautifully. However, VAR intervened, ruling the goal out as it was revealed that his knee was marginally offside.
Fortunately for Jackson, Chelsea secured a 2-1 victory with a stoppage-time penalty from Noni Madueke, preventing further misfortune for his teammates.
Mauricio Pochettino’s team initially took the lead with early first-half goals from Mykhailo Mudryk and leveled the score just before halftime with a composed finish from Michael Olise.
Despite the challenges, Chelsea claimed three crucial points, propelling them to tenth place in the Premier League standings. Meanwhile, Crystal Palace finds themselves only three points clear of the relegation zone.
