Chelsea rounded off their 2018 in style on Sunday, as they beat London rivals Crystal Palace 1-0 in the Premier League at Selhurst Park thanks to N'Golo Kante's goal.
The first half was devoid much excitement, although Chelsea did come close to breaking the deadlock on a couple of occasions. Willian struck the post with a free-kick, before Ross Barkley flicked an effort off the same upright.
In the second period the visitors did get the breakthrough their territorial dominance deserved, as N'Golo Kante made the most of a brilliant lofted pass from David Luiz and tucked home a fine finish in the 51st minute.
