Crystal Palace 0-3 Chelsea: Oscar, Willian, Costa Sinks Pardew's Men

Are the Blues back? After thrashing Palace this Chelsea looks like the Old Roman Boys.. Seems Guus Hiddink has been the missing link.

Chelsea have looked shadows of the side which eased to the Premier League title last season, but they may finally be back.

The Londoners have not lost in their last four Premier League matches now, after starting 2016 with a 3-0 win over Crystal Palace.

Crystal Palace 1-0 Southampton: Cabaye's Goal Gives Pardew Victory Over Former Team

So it is Crystal Palace, rather than Southampton, who go marching on. Even Southampton's historic hold over their hosts counted for little against Alan Pardew's increasingly buoyant side.

Palace had failed to defeat Southampton in 13 top-flight encounters, suffering straight losses in the last seven, but reputations and traditions matter little to Palace these days.

A first-half goal of sweet simplicity, created and executed by Palace's two stand-out performers, Yannick Bolasie and Yohan Cabaye, was enough to extend the South Londoners' impressive run to just one defeat in their last six outings.

Manchester City manager, Manuel Pellegrini has described his Nigerian charge, Kelechi Iheanacho as “important” after the forward netted the winner in the Citizen’s 1-0 success over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Saturday.

Manchester City Can Still Win Premier League - Alan Pardew

Manchester City have what it takes to overhaul Chelsea and retain their Premier League title, according to Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew. The champions will find themselves nine points behind Chelsea if the leaders overcome Stoke City on Saturday, with Manuel Pellegrini's men not in action until Monday's trip to Selhurst Park.

But Pardew reckons the battle for the trophy is still very much on, particularly in light of the fact that City's two top-flight triumphs were only secured on the final day.

Chelsea Winning Without Diego Costa Was Great - Jose Mourinho

Jose Mourinho was left beaming by his side's ability to win without star striker Diego Costa at Crystal Palace. The Spain international missed the trip to Selhurst Park with a long-standing hamstring complaint thought to be at the root of his absence.

Mourinho blasted the striker's national side for over playing him during the recent Euro 2016 qualifiers, but was left soothed as goals from Oscar and Cesc Fabregas secured a 2-1 triumph, in which Loic Remy proved a handful up front - drawing two bookings which saw Damien Delaney dismissed in the first half.
