    Chelsea are turning on the heat. But this shot from Ross Barkley won't trouble anyone. It flies way over the bar and into the stands.

    City's third change sees Fabian Delph get a brief cameo, with Fernandinho (a crucial cog) going off. One with next week's Champions League game in mind.

    A great goal because his first touch was immaculate, Crystal Palace haven't done enough defensively.

    Álvaro Morata was the only player in the box and Pedro couldn't find him.

    Morata could have been offside but a wonderful finish.

    Alvaro Morata

    Pedro is in acres of space when he receives the ball but his cross to Alvaro Morata is cut out by James Tomkins.

    Unfortunately for Palace, it bounces straight back out to Morata and the striker turns sharply and lashes it into the back of the net.

    That's three goals in his last four Premier League appearances.

    Excellent from Alvaro Morata this time. He uses his strength to win a corner despite being hounded by two defenders.

    Palace head the corner clear and Wilfried Zaha tries to go it alone before Pedro tracks back and gets a toe in.

    Chelsea have got nothing at the moment, at times the way Álvaro Morata is playing it's like the Blues are down to ten men, his movement is terrible. He's not earning at the moment.

    Vincent Kompany has not made a great start since coming on. Shane Long's shot deflects through his legs and goes wide for a corner that the defender allows to go over his head before a team-mate clears.

    Chelsea have woken up a little now.

    Another ball is crossed into the box and it bounces around dangerously before Palace eventually hook it clear.

    James Tomkins then misses the ball when it comes back in from the right, but luckily for him, so did Alvaro Morata.

    Marcos Alonso swings an excellent ball into the box for Alvaro Morata but the Spaniard can't divert his header goalwards.

    Wilfried Zaha then drives at David Luiz and beats him with a few nice stepovers. But there's nobody in support when he slips it inside.

    Southampton boss Mark Hughes spent a long time stood in his technical area during the first-half.

    I have not seen him that much in the second.

    He literally came out of his dug-out about five seconds before Raheem Sterling scored fifth.

    In fairness, there is nothing much he can say to alter the course of this one-sided affair.

    City have gone up a gear in the last few minutes. Raheem Sterling gets his second of the afternoon, slotting in low under Alex McCarthy from an angle after he is set up by Sergio Aguero.

    There's another chance for Palace and guess who is involved?

    Yep, Max Meyer again. He links up with Wilfried Zaha but his shot is blocked by David Luiz just at the last minute.
