Decade's best: Sako and Ward trump Chelsea - 2015

The second of three Chelsea victories on our Moment of the Decade poll, Palace's triumph over the Blues at Stamford Bridge in 2015 will go down as one of its most dramatic.

Facing the league champions in Jose Mourinho's 100th Chelsea game in SW6, Palace were very much unfavoured as they entered their fourth game of the new 2015/16 campaign.

But Chelsea had stumbled as they sought to race from the blocks that season - drawing with Swansea City, losing 3-0 to Manchester City and narrowly scraping a win with West Bromwich Albion.

After a first-half that saw the Blues dominate possession and fail to lead thanks to Alex McCarthy's goalkeeping heroics to deny Diego Costa and Cesc Fabregas, the Eagles may have lost much hope of pulling off an upset, however.
