Chelsea Pip Crystal Palace In London Derby

Graham Potter took charge of his first EPL match as the Blue’s boss, but it got off to the worst start when Odsonne Edouard opened the scoring after just seven minutes with a thunderous effort.

Chelsea escaped further embarrassment in the first half when Thiago Silva avoided a red card despite deliberately handling the ball as Palace threatened another counter-attack.

The Blues, despite not being at their best, then pulled themselves back into the game before the break thanks to Aubameyang’s finish.
