Chelsea inflict more misery on Glasner and Palace
It was another day to forget for Crystal Palace, who were outclassed by Chelsea in the Premier League at Selhurst Park.
Chelsea outclassed 10-man Crystal Palace in a 3-1 triumph at Selhurst Park on Sunday.
Estevao, Joao Pedro, and Enzo Fernandez were all on target against Palace, who had Adam Wharton sent off before netting a late consolation through Chris Richards.
Jean-Philippe Mateta was foiled one-on-one by Robert Sanchez and, after Fernandez and Moises Caicedo missed good chances, Chelsea went ahead when Estevao pounced on a woeful Jaydee Canvot backpass and fired past Dean Henderson in the 34th minute.
Five minutes after the break, Estevao clipped a ball for Joao Pedro to race onto, and he turned inside Wharton before smashing high past Henderson to double the lead.
Fernandez made sure of the points when he coolly rolled home from the penalty spot, with Darren England awarding a spot-kick for handball against Canvot after a pitch-side review.
Palace's misery was compounded when Wharton was shown a second yellow card for a late tackle on Caicedo, with Richards' late close-range header – coming just moments after a terrific Sanchez save from Jefferson Lerma – proving a mere footnote for an Eagles side who are on an 11-match winless run.
