Chelsea rout Palace 3-0

Chelsea claimed their first win since Guus Hiddink returned for a second spell as interim manager with the Blues beating Crystal Palace 3-0 at Selhurst Park on Sunday.

Goals from Oscar, Willian and Diego Costa secured the triumph as the Blues extended their unbeaten run to four Premier League games and climbed to 14th in the table.

Chelsea were dealt a setback early in the first half when Eden Hazard was forced off through injury with Pedro taking his place.

Oscar opened the scoring for Chelsea at Selhurst Park.

But Hiddink's side took the lead on 29 minutes when Costa latched onto Cesc Fabregas' pass and cut the ball back for Oscar, who tapped in from close range.
