Chelsea displayed some of the swagger from last season's title-winning campaign by beating Crystal Palace 3-0 in the Premier League to continue their resurgence under caretaker manager Guus Hiddink.

An early, match-ending injury to Eden Hazard didn't stop the Blues from romping to victory at a rain-soaked Selhurst Park, with Oscar putting the champions ahead in the 29th before Willian — with a long-range effort — and Diego Costa scored in the second half.

Chelsea had put up the worst title defence in Premier League history, but are unbeaten in four games since Hiddink replaced the fired Jose Mourinho and climbed to 14th with this win. The Blues are just 10 points off fifth-place Manchester United.

Alan Pardew's Crystal Palace side may feel disappointed with the result having started the weekend in fifth place, and having been undefeated in six matches.

So who do Chelsea have to thank for victory? And who was to blame among the Crystal Palace ranks? Here, we take a look at the individual performances at Selhurst Park...
