Aug 17, 2025, 11:00 AM ETChelsea were left frustrated by Crystal Palace on Sunday afternoon as an out-of-sync attacking display resulted in a 0-0 draw at Stamford Bridge.The visitors had the ball in the net first when Eberechi Eze smashed home from a direct free kick, but a VAR intervention disallowed it after deeming Marc Guéhi to be within one meter of the defensive wall.Palace looked the brighter of the two sides as Adam Wharton linked well with Jean-Philippe Mateta to force a save from Robert Sánchez, while Chelsea struggled to get Cole Palmer into the game and winger Pedro…

But couples in healthy relationships make a habit of talking about things that matter, every single day.Their conversations stay fresh, connected and meaningful because they never stop learning about each other.

Much of Rafael Perales’ daily life revolves around his 11-year-old daughter’s education. Considering that the pre-teen is already a college graduate, that’s very much by design.In May, his daughter Alisa earned two associate degrees — in mathematics and general science — from Crafton Hills College, a public community college in Yucaipa, California, where she matriculated as an 8-year-old.
