Fernandez helps Chelsea into top four as Palace pay penalty before Wharton red
"A stunning individual performance from Estevao, who scored the first after a mistake from fellow teenager Jaydee Canvot before setting up Joao Pedro for the second, inspired his side to end a run of five Premier League games without an away victory at the first attempt as they piled on the misery for Crystal Palace, who also had Adam Wharton sent off."
"A controversial penalty from Enzo Fernandez compounded a terrible afternoon for Canvot the 19-year-old tasked with replacing captain Marc Guehi after he was sold to Manchester City as Oliver Glasner's side stretched their winless run against Chelsea in the Premier League to 17 matches. It is now also 11 games without a victory in all competitions for last season's FA Cup winners despite a late consolation from Chris Richards,"
"For Rosenior, whose side now find themselves back in the top four and unbeaten since he succeeded Enzo Maresca at the start of this month, things are looking much more rosy especially with the mercurial talent that is Estevao at his disposal. He was given a standing ovation when withdrawn 16 minutes from time with the points already firmly in the bag."
Estevao produced a standout performance, scoring after a mistake by Jaydee Canvot and creating Joao Pedro's goal. Enzo Fernandez added a controversial penalty. Adam Wharton was sent off, and Canvot had a difficult game replacing departed captain Marc Guehi, who moved to Manchester City. Crystal Palace extended a long winless streak against Chelsea in the Premier League to 17 matches and went 11 games without a victory in all competitions despite Chris Richards' late consolation. Rosenior's Chelsea are unbeaten since he took charge and moved back into the top four. Estevao received a standing ovation when substituted.
