Chelsea piled more misery on Oliver Glasner over the weekend after beating his Crystal Palace side 3-1.
While Palace started the game strongly, in the end, it was an easy win for Chelsea thanks to goals from Estevao Willian, Joao Pedro and Enzo Fernandez.
Estevao’s goal and assist saw him break a record at Selhurst Park, with the winger being the youngest Chelsea player to achieve that feat in the same match since 1993.
Estevao’s best game in a Chelsea shirt?
Sensational performance from the Brazilian…

Oliver Glasner claims Pedro Neto should have been sent off
Glasner does not think Neto should have actually finished the London derby after a stamp on Ismaila Sarr.
Speaking to Crystal Palace’s official club website after the full-time whistle, the Austrian said: “I’ve seen that Pedro Neto stamped on Ismaila Sarr. It should have been a red card.”
Following their loss to Chelsea, Palace are now on a run of eight games without a win in the Premier League. Glasner is set to leave Selhurst Park at the end of the season, but if things do not pick up soon, he may not make it that far.

As for Chelsea, they have managed to find some form under new manager Liam Rosenior. The Blues have now made it back-to-back wins in the English top flight following their victory in south London on Sunday.
Despite speculation, Glasner replacing Enzo Maresca was quickly ruled out, with Chelsea turning to Rosenior instead.

Pedro Neto very fortunate
Glasner definitely has a right to complain about Neto remaining on the Selhurst Park pitch.
He did have a bit of a kick out, and had Sarr made more of the incident, the Portuguese winger could have easily seen red.
It was another moment that showed Chelsea’s discipline problem, with the Club World Cup winners picking up seven red cards in all competitions this season.
They got away with it this time, but it is certainly something for Rosenior to keep an eye on.
