Chelsea v Crystal Palace player ratings: Mudryk 8, Nkunku 7; Henderson 6, Eze 5

Substitute Noni Madueke's late penalty seals 2-1 victory for Blues at Stamford Bridge

Chelsea needed an 89th-minute penalty from substitute Noni Madueke to labour to a 2-1 home victory over Crystal Palace in a Premier League London derby on Wednesday.

Madueke was brought down by Eberechi Eze who caught the Chelsea midfielder's trailing leg and, after initially waving play on, referee Michael Salisbury was called by VAR to the screen where he signalled a foul and the Blues eked out a win.

Mauricio Pochettino's side took an early lead through Mykhailo Mudryk but Michael Olise pegged the hosts back at Stamford Bridge.

Pochettino pleased with Chelsea mentality after third-straight home win

Chelsea jad dominated the first half and created several openings despite missing suspended attacking pair Raheem Sterling and Cole Palmer.

Pochettino handed left-back Ian Maatsen his first top-flight start on the right of the attack and the 21-year-old came close early on, nudging past Dean Henderson but Tyrick Mitchell cleared the ball away as it rolled towards goal.

Mudryk broke the deadlock in the 13th minute after Christopher Nkunku, making his first start for Chelsea since his summer move from RB Leipzig, played in Malo Gusto, zipping outside him on the left.

The Ukraine winger could have scored his second soon afterwards when Nicholas Jackson teed him up with a backheel, but Henderson rushed out to save well.

The hosts were rampant but Palace snatched an equaliser just before the break through Olise after another Chelsea defensive error.

After the late goal and halftime break, Chelsea appeared to lose momentum before a late change in fortunes.

Defeat leaves Palace three points above the relegation zone and coach Roy Hodgson under pressure.

The win was the third in a row at home in the Premier League for Chelsea after victories over Sheffield United and Brighton & Hove Albion. But those victories have also come alongside away defeats at Newcastle United, Manchester United, Everton and Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Pochettino said he expected more from his expensively assembled side.

"The Premier League is really tough and we need to be consistent," the Argentine told the BBC.

"The first half of the season has been really up and down and it's been tough and difficult. But we're positive and we need to show that we can compete."

The Melbourne Mercer Global Pension Index

The Melbourne Mercer Global Pension Index

Mazen Abukhater, principal and actuary at global consultancy Mercer, Middle East, says the company’s Melbourne Mercer Global Pension Index - which benchmarks 34 pension schemes across the globe to assess their adequacy, sustainability and integrity - included Saudi Arabia for the first time this year to offer a glimpse into the region.

The index highlighted fundamental issues for all 34 countries, such as a rapid ageing population and a low growth / low interest environment putting pressure on expected returns. It also highlighted the increasing popularity around the world of defined contribution schemes.

“Average life expectancy has been increasing by about three years every 10 years. Someone born in 1947 is expected to live until 85 whereas someone born in 2007 is expected to live to 103,” Mr Abukhater told the Mena Pensions Conference.

“Are our systems equipped to handle these kind of life expectancies in the future? If so many people retire at 60, they are going to be in retirement for 43 years – so we need to adapt our retirement age to our changing life expectancy.”

Saudi Arabia came in the middle of Mercer’s ranking with a score of 58.9. The report said the country's index could be raised by improving the minimum level of support for the poorest aged individuals and increasing the labour force participation rate at older ages as life expectancies rise.

Mr Abukhater said the challenges of an ageing population, increased life expectancy and some individuals relying solely on their government for financial support in their retirement years will put the system under strain.

“To relieve that pressure, governments need to consider whether it is time to switch to a defined contribution scheme so that individuals can supplement their own future with the help of government support,” he said.
