Chelsea 1-2 Crystal Palace
Pat Nevin
Ex-Scotland international on BBC Radio 5 live"Ultimately there were more good players playing for Crystal Palace than Chelsea. Alan Pardew's game plan was spot on and they've deserved this win. There can't be any arguments at all. A lot of Chelsea's players were a long way short, but you can to give Palace a lot of the credit."

Jason Roberts on Final Score: "Chelsea don't win the first ball in the box - that can happen. What is fatal is that they don't win the second ball - Ward gets to it first."

Chelsea 0-1 Crystal Palace
Pat Nevin
Ex-Scotland international on BBC Radio 5 live"Yannick Bolasie should've scored there. At 2-0 it might have even been game over. I'm quite surprised by the changes Jose Mourinho has made here - he's chasing the game and brought on two inexperienced players."

Oh, how did he miss that! Yannick Bolasie shoots wide from all of six yards and with Thibaut Courtois nowhere to be seen. That would have sealed the win.

Not a lot of width for Chelsea today as the average position graphic shows below. Will Kenedy, who has slotted in at left-back, sort that out?
