Some Chelsea fans got so excited they broke the advertising hoarding when celebrating a stoppage-time strike by Conor Gallagher at Crystal Palace.

Former Eagles loanee Gallagher stroked the ball home from the edge of the box to put Chelsea 2-1 up in stoppage time at Selhurst Park to the delight of the travelling Blues fans.

Although the celebrations went slightly too far as a crowd of Chelsea fans looking to celebrate with the goalscorer ended up accidentally made a part of the advertising hoarding fall over in the melee.

Stewards were forced to intervene as some spilled onto the pitch to ensure no one was hurt while Chelsea players Ben Chilwell and Cole Palmer offered their assistance to the fans who fell.

Gallagher equalised early in the second half and his second goal wasn't the winner as Enzo Fernandez added another late in extra time to seal a 3-1 win.
