Have Chelsea turned a corner, or is it another false start?

LONDON -- Chelsea made the short trip to Selhurst Park tasked with finding the consistency that has been missing all season, and injury-time goals from Conor Gallagher and Enzo Fernández answered manager Mauricio Pochettino's call, eventually. The 3-1 victory over Crystal Palace on Monday repaid a performance where Chelsea dominated possession but struggled to turn that into clear-cut chances until those two late hammer blows.

It was the ex-Palace loanee Gallagher who was the thorn in the Eagles' side. After Jefferson Lerma's first-half wondergoal, Gallagher's goal just 90 seconds into the second-half drew things level, and he followed that up with his 91st minute-winner, leaving Fernandez's well-taken third to round things off.
