Crystal Palace were defeated 4-1 at home to Chelsea at Selhurst Park.
Top-four chasing Chelsea dominated from the first whistle and pretty much won the game inside the first 10 minutes.
Kai Havertz got the opening goal after just eight minutes with a low finish after Palace failed to clear their lines.
Two minutes later, Christian Pulisic smashed the ball into the roof of the net from close range following a fine Chelsea team move.
Kurt Zouma rose above Gary Cahill to nod home Mason Mount’s free-kick for 3-0 to the Blues on the half-hour mark.
Vicente Guaita made a smart stop and there was a goalline clearance from Patrick van Aanholt to keep the score down before the break.
The Eagles pulled a goal back with a Christian Benteke header off substitute Jeffrey Schlupp’s cross in the 63rd minute.
But Chelsea increased the lead with their fourth goal of the day through Pulisic’s far-post finish from Reece James’ centre on 78 minutes to wrap up an easy win.
