Fourth-placed Chelsea closed the gap on Manchester City and Tottenham as N’Golo Kante’s second-half strike earned them victory at Crystal Palace.
Kante scored the only goal of the game in the 51st
minute when he broke forward from midfield to convert
David Luiz’s throughball. N’Golo Kante’s return of three
goals is his best ever in a season in the top five
European Leagues.
There were few clear-cut chances as the Blues
dominated possession and Palace sat back hoping to
catch the opposition on the counter-attack – a tactic
which failed to work as Roy Hodgson’s Eagles took 85
minutes to register their first effort at goal.
Chelsea’s Willian came close to scoring with a free-
kick that struck the post, and Ross Barkley also hit the
woodwork with a hooked effort.
The Blues have 43 points, one behind City and two
behind Spurs. Palace remain in 14th with 19 points.
