9: Save from Hennessey! Kante's shuffled shot floats towards goal but Giroud, who was onside, waves a leg at it but can't make contact.
10: Zappacosta has a shot blocked cutting inside from the right flank. It looks like the Blues are going to try and make in-roads down that flank. Chelsea slowly taking control of the game.
12: SO CLOSE! Andros Townsend for Palace almost pulls off a 'howitzer', striking a bouncing ball left-footed from the edge of the 'D' towards goal but it's just a fraction too high. Courtois, in goal for the Blues, was getting nowhere near that.
15: Chelsea attempting playing the ball around delicately outside the Palace penalty area, orchestrated by Eden Hazard. But then the ball falls to Kante, who, like a luddite trying to send an email, squanders possession. 0-0.
17: Pop-shot from Willian. Not entirely sure what that phrase means but it fits that strike aptly. Left-footed, low, daisy-cutter esque but not quite, yet easily saved by Hennessey. Everything he has had to do so far has been pretty straightforward. Chelsea's build-up play, though, has been impressive in the early stages.
22: Half-way through the first-half already. You're not missing much, former Chelsea man Patrick van Aanholt is down receiving treatment. Chelsea have a corner.
23: Ah.The corner is taken short, worked nicely around the edges of the penalty area, and then Willian blazes it over the cross-bar.
25: Willian wakes the Stamford Bridge hordes from their slumber with a deflected effort from outside the area. He cuts inside from the left flank, finds the space outside the area and fires right-footed low and hard. It deflects off the foot of Kelly who inexplicably turns his back, diverting the ball away from Hennessey towards the post and in. 1-0!
