Chelsea secured a 3-2 win over Crystal Palace yesterday, boosting their chances of finishing in the top-four as a result.
The victory saw them go third in the table after Arsenal held Leicester City to a draw later in the day, and while Frank Lampard’s men weren’t particularly defensively solid at the back, Kurt Zouma’s last-ditch tackle on Palace striker Christian Benteke in the closing seconds of the game proved more than crucial.
The Blues went 2-nil up in the opening 27 minutes through Olivier Giroud and Christian Pulisic, but Wilfried Zaha soon halved the deficit following a fine effort from distance.
