Abid: Very rare to see a legend come back as a manager and do as well as Frank Lampard has done. Especially impressive given how young the team is. Still a long way to go in the season but the future looks bright for Chelsea.

Frank Lampard is on the pitch in the pouring rain applauding Chelsea's fans after a clean sheet win lifts his team to second in the table. Is there a better way to go into the international break?

Steve Sidwell
Former Chelsea midfielder on BBC Radio 5 LiveIt's very similar to the games here against Newcastle and Brighton. Chelsea have had to show patience and faith in their ability. At the end of the day, that sort of togetherness will grind results out.

A rare save from Kepa Arrizabalaga to deny substitute James McCarthy from distance. Palace have not tested the Chelsea keeper enough.

Palace are well beaten. A roar from the home fans as Wilfried Zaha fails to control a routine ball and it flies out for a Chelsea throw-in. Roy Hodgson does not look pleased!
James McCarthy is on for Cheikhou Kouyate in the closing stages.

Ian Shepherd: Who had Chelsea in 2nd place after 12 games..??....nope, me neither. I had them struggling this season. Lampard doing a fab job...Emery take note!
Seth Gogo Egoe: Chelsea fans are getting carried away! I agree that they are playing well but let someone remind them that we are not even in December yet. WINTER is coming...
SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 80 mins

That was Pulisic's last action.
He just about has time to celebrate his goal before he is replaced by Callum Hudson-Odoi.
Pulisic receives a standing ovation for his contribution. He's been great.

Christian Pulisic
Captain America strikes again!
It's five in three games for Christian Pulisic who heades home from close range after substitute Michy Batshuayi's attempt deflects into his path.
It's his first goal at Stamford Bridge.
What a signing Pulisic is turning out to be!

Frank's an early front runner for Manager of the Year, surely. Has Roman finally got it right?

Steve Sidwell
Former Chelsea midfielder on BBC Radio 5 LiveThat was a fantastic opportunity. James Tomkins just caught the ball at the very, very last second. The game is definitely stretched now, definitely opened up. Palace have had to spring out of their defensive trap but Chelsea are trying to exploit that as well.
