Chelsea was lucky enough to snatch the whole three points away from Crystal Palace after a bad performance during the game.

The player failed to find a good rhythm to their game as they struggled to create a chance for a goalscoring opportunity.

Though the Eagles made life difficult for Chelsea with their level of organisation throughout the whole. A late switch in their defence line saw Hakim Zyiech put the ball past the goalkeeper to give Chelsea their only goal of the game.

During the game, Chelsea was unable to operate from the midfield as no player have the ability to drive the ball through the middle.

The players took most of their ball down the wing which made life difficult for them as Patrick Viera's men were ready to shut them down properly.

Mateo Kovacic remains the only Chelsea midfielder that can drive the ball through the midfield during the game creating room for the wingers to feel free during the game.
