Chelsea hold their nerve to overcome plucky Crystal Palace Crystal Palace 1 Chelsea 2

18. October.2014 ( GNA) -Crystal Palace 1 Chelsea 2. Chelsea have six more matches in three weeks but it is unlikely that any will be played out as peacefully as this victory over Crystal Palace.

Oscar’s wonderful free kick bent away from Julian Speroni after six minutes and Cesc Fàbregas doubled the advantage when he played a one-two with Eden Hazard and found the bottom corner early after the restart.

Palace’s pace unsettled Chelsea in the first half, and Fraizer Campbell’s late goal made for an exciting last few minutes. But Chelsea's second goal largely sapped the sting and feistiness out of the game.
