Chelsea 1-2 Crystal Palace highlights

Watch highlights as Crystal Palace stunned Chelsea with a 2-1 win to boost their survival chances and give a glimmer of hope to the chasing pack at the top.

Runaway leaders Chelsea had not conceded twice since losing 2-0 at Tottenham at January 4, but were breached twice in quick succession after taking a fifth-minute lead through Cesc Fabregas.

Wilfried Zaha and Christian Benteke gave the Eagles a 2-1 lead after 11 minutes and a brilliant team performance from Sam Allardyce's men earned a fourth straight win to improve their survival hopes.

Zaha and Benteke - known to be admired by Chelsea boss Antonio Conte - excelled, as did goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey as Chelsea's 13-game winning home run ended.

The defeat enabled Tottenham to close the gap at the top of the Premier League to seven points, with Chelsea up against Manchester City in midweek.
