Crystal Palace have shocked the Premier League champions at Stamford Bridge, coming away with a 2-1 victory over Chelsea in what was a brilliant game of football.
Goals to Sako and Joel Ward sealed the points for the visitors, after former Manchester United flop Radamel Falcao had come off the bench to equalise and give his some some hope.
But it wasn’t to be as Palace hit back straight away and consigned Chelsea to their second loss in four games this season.

I’m looking at some letters and numbers. They say ‘Chelsea 1 Palace 2’ and I don’t understand what they mean.

Has a player ever declined as rapidly as Ivanovic? Signs were there last season, but these first four games have been a horror show. #CFC — Garry Hayes (@garryhayes) August 29, 2015

A shaky defence, a misfiring attack and a manager running out of excuses after just four matches. Are the Blues in trouble early on in the season? What are your thoughts?
