An impressive Chelsea moved back into the top four of the Premier League with a dominant victory at Crystal Palace. Beaten 5-2 at home last weekend by struggling West Brom, the Blues quickly set about making amends, scoring twice in the opening 10 minutes, during which the overwhelmed home side barely got a kick of the ball.
