Two second-half goals from Conor Gallagher against his former loan team helped Chelsea earn a much-needed 3-1 victory at Crystal Palace on Monday night.
Match Report
Crystal Palace 1-3 Chelsea: Mauricio Pochettino's side left it late to secure victory and extend their Premier League winning streak at Selhurst Park.
Jefferson Lerma's thunderbolt gave the hosts the lead, with Roy Hodgson's side holding on to their advantage throughout the rest of the first half.
Chelsea came out energised following the interval, and Conor Gallagher was on hand to level for the Blues just minutes after the delayed restart.

Jose Mourinho ON VAR USAGE AT THE AFCON 🗣 "I have watched AFCON more than European football. They are simply teaching us to be honest. In AFCON VAR is used exactly the way it should be used. They do not use it to help the money magnet teams or famous teams. This is why you saw the best out of every team . Because they know VAR is not hired behind the scenes but is for everyone. They listen even to their Players if the Ref missed something and go check. In Europe if I as a coach or a player plead with a ref to go check something, it is a red card for doing that. The headquarters for VAR needs to be in CAF" #FACT
