Premier League!! Chelsea Cruise To 1-0 Victory At Crystal Palace To Extend Huge Gap At The Top Of The League

Chelsea equalled a club record as they beat Crystal Palace to secure their 11th successive Premier League win and move nine points clear at the top of the table.

Diego Costa put the Blues ahead with their first attempt on target as he headed in from Cesar Azpilicueta’s floated cross.

Marcos Alonso nearly doubled the visitors’ lead as he hit the underside of the crossbar with a curling 25-yard free-kick.

Palace’s best chances fell to Jason Puncheon, but he headed wide and fired a free-kick narrowly over.

Chelsea also won 11 matches between April and September 2009, with the Premier League record Arsenal’s 14-game winning run in 2002.
