Diego Costa was the hero has he scored his 50th goal for the club to edge the Blues past Alan Pardew’s side at Selhurst Park. The result moves the visitors an impressive nine points clear at the top of the Premier League table, with Arsenal in action against Manchester City on Sunday before Liverpool travel to Everton on Monday.

When Ospina came out to play a contested ball, he gave up on his mission to clear the ball in favor of spearing Oscar into next week. Despite being knocked unconscious, Oscar remained in the game for 30 minutes, which, is absolutely appalling considering the video clearly shows him in a state of unconsciousness. In a halftime interview with Sky Sports, Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho said Oscar was being transported to the hospital....

Terry considering retirement That means Begovic will be rewarded for his two appearances this season, while any outfield player to have taken in less than five outings will be left empty-handed.

It wasn’t to be for the Blues. Rodrygo’s finish after Luka Modric found him with a sublime outside of the boot cross levelled the tie. Karim Benzema was the man to make the difference, heading Real back into the lead during extra time.

Real Madrid followed up its emphatic Round of 16 win over PSG with a complete flop in league play against rivals Barcelona, a game which exposed Madrid’s own tactical frailties. The road win over Celta Vigo on Saturday did not help dispel concerns given it came on the back of three penalty kicks called in Real’s favor. The Blues, meanwhile, were bopped by Christian Eriksen and Brentford over the weekend, a match in which Ruben Loftus-Cheek failed to fill in adequately for Jorginho in midfield....
