Chelsea boss Graham Potter has praised his side's character in their late 2-1 win over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park in his first Premier League game.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang cancelled out Odsonne Edouard's opener with a fantastic turn and first-time shot past the Crystal Palace goalkeeper.

Conor Gallagher sealed the three points at his former loan side, firing a brilliant curling shot into the top corner in the dying moments of the game.
