Chelsea climbed the Premier League table thanks to a convincing victory away at Crystal Palace. The Blues recorded a 3-1 win at Selhurst Park on Sunday afternoon as Liam Rosenior’s impressive start at the club continues.
Rosenior has now overseen five matches as Chelsea boss since being appointed earlier this month, with the Blues claiming a victory in all but one, which was a defeat to Arsenal in the Carabao Cup.
Estevao Willian opened the scoring for Chelsea in the first half, before Joao Pedro doubled the Blues’ advantage in the early minutes after the interval.
Chelsea were then awarded a penalty for a handball by Jaydee Canvot, which was subsequently converted by Enzo Fernandez to put the visitors in control of the game.
