Premier League: N'Golo Kante Leads Chelsea To Beat Crystal Palace 1-0
Chelsea maintained a strong stance in top four with five points clear from closest rivals Arsenal after winning by a lone goal against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park Stadium.
Prior to Blues making away with the maximum points through N'Golo Kante, Olivier Giroud smashed home a left-footed volley from Jorginho's cross in 28th minutes but the Frenchman was ruled to be in offside positioning and his goal was disqualified.
After the break, Kante did justice to a cross from David Luis, chested down the ball between Palace's Sahko and van Aanholt inside the box and drilled a left-footed shot into the post for the opening and winning goal in 51st minutes.
"It was a difficult match. I am happy with the team because we dominated for 85th minutes" says Maurizio Sarri after the match.
And speaking about Kante and need to sharpen the team on the attack he added, "He's improving with the right timing and good movement, and now I think that we have to work on Ross Barkley."
Arsenal's 5-1 defeat to Liverpool at Anfield Stadium gave Blues the opportunity to extend points ahead of them to maintain position in top four with 43 points.
