Highlights

Full Time

A wonderful performance from Chelsea. There can't be many teams around in better form.

87'

Ziyech plays in Havertz who controls the ball beautifully and pushes the ball away from the Palace defenders before shooting too close to Guaita. Almost a complete performance from him.

83'

Ziyech comes on to replace Kovacic, another very impressive performer for the Blues.

78'

GOAL FOR CHELSEA! A fine low cross from the right flank from James finds Pulisic at the far post and he slots home easily.

76'

Townsend replaces Ayew for Palace.

75'

James comes on to replace Hudson-Odoi.

72'

Mount again in a dangerous area plays a ball across the six-yard box but Pulisic just fails to get a touch on it.

71'

Mount is played through on goal but Cahill does well to make a sliding block for a ball destined for just inside the far post.

69'

A lovely through ball from Pulisic plays in Havertz who shoots first time but close to Guaita who saves comfortably.

68'

Benteke suddenly looks alive winning a header down to Ayew who pushes the ball past Rudiger but Mendy comes out to collect.

65'

Palace now have a free kick on the edge of the box after Hudson-Odoi felled Zaha on the edge of the box but Zouma is there to head away the danger.

63'

GOAL FOR PALACE! That didn't seem like it was coming. Schlupp immediately puts in the first good cross his team has managed all game and Benteke heads home with aplomb.

62'

Kante comes on for Jorginho who has had a fine game.

61'

A chain of over 15 passes beginning in their own penalty area ended with Hudson-Odoi playing in Mount whose cross was headed behind by Kouyate.

60'

Riedewald and Eze are replaced by Schlupp and McCarthy for the Eagles.

59'

Lovely intricate play involving Mount, Jorginho and Hudson-Odoi ends with the latter firing a low ball across the box which reaches Chilwell who shoots over the bar.

56'

Lovely cross from Hudson-Odoi and Havertz gets his head to the cross in front of Kouyate but it flies wide of the target.

54'

Hudson-Odoi turns inside from the right flank but sees a left-footed effort blocked.

53'

Palace are closing down the space Chelsea's midfielders have a lot better in this half.

51'

Ayew got the ball in a lot of space 25 yards from goal but his touch is awful and allows Chilwell to close down the space and the chance.
