WATCH THE CLIP

<p>United States international Richards and his Palace team-mates would have been relieved when the initial red turned out to be a mistake as the game was tied at 1-1 and going down to 10 men would have been a huge blow for the visitors. Despite managing to keep 11 men on the field, however, Palace eventually conceded a late winner when Madueke converted a penalty.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Chelsea will look to secure a second straight win in the Premier League when they visit Luton on Saturday in their final game of 2023. Later that afternoon, Palace will round off their year with a home game against Brentford.</p>

WHAT NEXT FOR CHELSEA AND PALACE?
