Chelsea climbed into the top four of the EPL on Sunday after a 3-1 win over Crystal Palace.

Estevao fired in Chelsea's opener (34th min) before Joao Pedro doubled their lead (50th min). Enzo Fernandez then slotted home a penalty (64th min) to give new manager Liam Rosenior his fourth win in five games.

Palace's misery was compounded by Adam Wharton's sending off in the 73rd minute, but defender Chris Richards still managed to score a late consolation goal (88th min).
