Moments after the break, Joao Pedro made it two, latching onto a sweet chipped pass from his countryman Estevao before cutting in and firing through the legs of Dean Henderson. After Jaydee Canvot’s handball, which denied Pedro a brace, Enzo Fernandez scored from the spot to put Chelsea three to the good. Palace’s misery was then compounded as Adam Wharton, imperious in the middle of the park, was shown two yellow cards for a pair of near-identical late tackles on Moises Caicedo.
